You pull with all your strength. Your heart is beating so loudly that you’re scared your eardrums will explode. Left! Left! Are you going to make it? Suddenly, you shoot through the mist into calmer waters. You did it! You’ve conquered the Monster! Only a moment ago your heart was pounding like a drummer on steroids. Relentless. Desperate. Now the danger has passed. You’ve pushed through the moment of near panic. And your heart is changing. From rushing like a freight train to the calm thump . . . thump . . . thump . . . of a heart at rest. If only it were that easy to change the rest of your heart. You know, the part that houses those other monsters. I’m talking about selfishness. Superiority. Anger. Greed. Guilt. Nope, no easy switch for any of us. But for God? Not a problem. He’s in the business of changing hearts. We would be wrong to think this change happens overnight. But we would be equally wrong to assume change never happens at all. It may come in fits and spurts, an “aha” here, a breakthrough there. But it comes. Could you use some?
