Music and the Heart

Two songs that are speaking to me right now:

Legacy - Nichole Nordeman

A Mirror is Harder to Hold - Jon Foreman

Because I want to leave a legacy -

"Therefore let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and praise your Father in Heaven." 

Matthew 5:16

And because I want to learn not to be judgmental and a hypocrite when it comes to pointing out other people's shortcomings without examining my own heart. I've been convicted. Big time. -

"Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. For you will be treated as you treat others. The standard you use in judging is the standard by which you will be judged. “And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eye when you have a log in your own? How can you think of saying to your friend, ‘Let me help you get rid of that speck in your eye,’ when you can’t see past the log in your own eye? Hypocrite! First get rid of the log in your own eye; then you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend’s eye." 

Matthew 7:1-5

I am truly grateful for a God of love and grace and mercy. And I'm grateful for godly friends who hold me accountable.  My heart seriously needs a make-over.  I can't wait to see what God does with it. 

"Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, and the new has come!"

2 Corinthians 5:17
