Changed in His Presence - Sam Hinn

CHANGED IN HIS PRESENCE
there. I cannot imagine what happens to a heart
that is given to Him only once. Our hearts need
His daily cleansing in order to remain pure. God
desires to remove whatever would hinder Him
from touching us.
Just when you think you know your heart,
God shows you how much you don't know.
Maybe you gave Him your heart at an altar
once, but you have not given Him your heart
today. I encourage you to begin this wonderful
exchange with God. I do not believe it is enough
to give Him our hearts only once.
My prayer is that the first thing you do every
morning is give your heart to Him. In the
stillness of the early hours of your day, roll out of
your bed and onto the floor and give Him your
heart. It will make your day—and His. The Word
declares:
For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro
throughout the whole earth, to show Himself
strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal
to Him (2 Chr. 16:9).
When you and I worship God and stand in
His presence, there is a loving confrontation
between the heart of God and your heart. God
allows you to see the condition of your heart. We
can't fool God by acting spiritual on Sunday,
because He sees us all week long and knows all
about us. Worship brings us to a place where we
can see ourselves as He sees us.
For the Lord does not see as man sees; for
man looks at the outward appearance, but the
Lord looks at the heart (1 Sam. 16:7).
