God’s gracious invitation, “My son, give me thy heart.” Will you respond in the affirmative now, while the op portunity is still available?
up, grabbed the parcel, put it under his arm, jumped into his jeep and drove away. In a few moments the traffic was going again. The danger had passed. The expert knew how to handle the situation. Did you ever stop to think that the Bible teaches us that every individ ual has his own bomb within him? It is called the human heart. Do you realize that it could explode? If you don’t believe it, hear what Jesus Christ said about it, “For from with in, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wicked ness, deceits, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from with in and defile the man” (Mark 7:21- 23 the Amplified New Testament). The Saviour said these things are in every man. Someone may say “I haven’t ever done any of those things; they haven’t come out of my heart.” Keep in mind then that if they haven’t come out, then they are still inside. This is what the Lord has told us. As human beings, we are capable of anything, everything within this list and other similar ones given in Scripture. Christ is the divine psy chologist. He created the human heart. You may be a Christian. If so, thank God. If you are not a Christian, thank God you can be. Perhaps someone reading this is now contemplating viciousness. It will cause you to blow up, bringing de struction to yourself and those whom you love. Keep in mind that it takes an expert to handle a bomb. There’s only one Expert, the Lord Jesus Christ. Call upon Him and He’ll “de fuse” you. He can cleanse you from your sin. Recognize His presence and let Him control you. He promised, “I’ll never leave thee nor forsake thee.” There’s only one way, and that’s through Christ. You’re not big enough. None of us know enough to handle our own hearts. Listen to
