The one thing I learned most of the teaching is that everything, no matter how big or small comes down to the heart. That my heart and the attitude of it is what matters most. I can do something but with the wrong motives and it not be a blessing to those around me.

It really showed me that I needed to look at myself before looking to judge others. I really had to step back and look at how I was treating people, and get my heart right. I admit that I was sitting in class like Oh! So in so, really needs to be hearing this. And the Holy Spirit totally rebuked me and said that you need to be listening for you. It smacked me hard but, I listened and took everything in. And I realize that I would have to give an account for everything I have ever done or said. That has really helped me in that I stop and think before I do or say something. That I will have to explain this to Jesus, and I could just imagine the look on His face., one of disappointment .You are one of my followers but you acted like the world and towards your brothers and sisters. And I want to do all I can to not have that look towards me.

In the readings we have been doing I really looked at Saul’s heart and how before God allowed him to be king God gave him a new heart. It showed me that when God calls you to a new thing He will give you the heart for it, but we must stay obedient to Him or our hearts will harden like Saul’s. By looking to David’s heart I see that he didn’t always do things the right way but he always had a pure heart towards God and was quick to obey. I have read the stories of Saul and David but I never looked at their hearts and heart attitude, it’s like a whole new story since Matters of the Heart class. It’s that I have a new way of thinking and its by putting my heart in line with God.
