Hard Hearts Make Hard Lives

from My Morning Devotional Hosted by Mary Alessi

Is your heart feeling a little guarded these days? In today's episode, we explore the idea that hard hearts can lead to hard lives, reflecting on Matthew 19:8 and what it means for our relationships and daily walk with God. Together, we'll uncover how pain, disappointment, and unmet expectations can quietly shape our hearts and what we can do to stay open and soft to God's voice. Let's gather as a community to pray for hearts that remain tender and responsive, inviting God to gently reveal and heal any places of hardness within us. Join us in devotion and prayer as we seek a new level of openness and peace. Tap HERE to send us a text! SUPPORT THE SHOW - AND GET BONUS EPISODES!
