To make room for God to fill the vessel of our soul, we have to begin moving out some of the unnecessary clutter that continually accumulates there like the junk drawer in your kitchen.

Of course our prayers are limited by our sin. If you want powerful prayers, get the sin out of your life.

All of the happiness we have ever known and all of the happiness we hope to find is unreachable without a heart.

Genuine holiness restores human beings; restored human beings possess genuine holiness.

And so, dear heart, it is time for your restoration. For there is One greater than your Enemy. One who has sought you out from the beginning of time. He has come to heal your broken heart and restore your feminine soul. Let us turn now to him.

Nothing is truly lost. This is going to come back to me; this will be in one of my treasure chests Jesus will restore to me.

A man's heart reflects the man... Proverbs 27:19

For the search for wholeness compels every person, every hour of their lives, whether they know it or not. We ache to be made whole again. And only one Person who ever walked this earth can do this for the heart and soul he created himself.

Restored in you, to be renewed in you, to receive from you.

O merciful God, come to me in this place, this very place in my heart. I give this to you. I choose you over Eve. I choose your love and friendship and beauty. I give my aching and longing and vulnerable heart to you. Come, and heal me here. Sanctify me. Make me whole and holy in this very place.

Standing in the way of the path to life—the way of the heart—is a monstrous barrier. It has stopped far too many pilgrims dead in their tracks, for far too long. There is a widespread belief among Christians today that the heart is desperately wicked—even after a person comes to Christ. It is a crippling belief. And it is untrue.

If a man is ever to find out who he is and what he's here for, he has got to take that journey for himself. He has got to get his heart back.
