“I will graciously give you a new, tender heart and put a new, willing spirit inside you. I will remove your hard heart of stone and give you an obedient, responsive heart instead.” (Ezekiel 36:26, the Passion Translation)

This is a beautiful promise. We can accept it for ourselves and recognize its power in the lives of others as well.

Individuals can become hardened by circumstances or by ego. Cynicism can seem justified, and self-protection may make one closed off to others and fearful of being hurt. We may feel old and set in our ways, or see another as that way—unmovable, inflexible, angry, distant.

But God’s promise is perpetual—just as He, Truth, is—and so it is available to all to receive and feel. Hearts can be made new, tender, willing, giving. We can know that it is never too late for God’s Love to act upon us and to revive us, awaken us to what it feels like to humbly love and be loved.

God’s Love is gracious and kind. It doesn’t blame us or think we are beyond repair. Love simply removes the false sense of ourselves, and reveals who we really are—the very expressions and objects of His own tender, powerful Love.
