The State of Your Heart Address

Last night the president stood before members of Congress, members of the cabinet, the Justices of the Supreme Court and all of their invitees to share the State of the Union address. He shared his insights on the important issues we have and will face. The president spoke about the economy, foreign policy and education. He challenged those in Washington to stop fighting with each and start working with one another to rebuild America. In essence he set the tone for his re-election campaign as well as his legislative agenda for the coming year. The SOTU address, as usual, gave key insights into his administration's goals, policies and plans. It will serve as reference point for future analysis of his effectiveness.

Today, and everyday, you have the opportunity to have your own address: the State of Your Heart address. The audience is you, but you have a choice of speechwriters.

Satan writes speeches full of selfishness and false justification. He places a work of deception before your heart and asks you to simply read the words of self-gratification and ease off his teleprompter. His rhetoric subtly supports deep divides between the party of good and evil. Each line pulls at the emotions and passions of the sinful hearts we fight with everyday.

God writes speeches of selflessness and true justification. He places a work of truth before your heart and asks for you to live the words of self denial and surrender through His Prompter, the Holy Spirit. His rhetoric boldly lifts you from the darkness of the party of evil and brings your thoughts to the courts of heaven. Each line brings conviction and change to the sinful hearts we fight with everyday.

Do not let today go by without a true State of Your Heart address. Do not let a moment pass without sitting down with the only One who can deliver on His promise of real change. Not simply political, economic or world change; true heart change.
