One Bread, One Body - Reflection for March 27, 2014 HARD SPOTS Oh, that today you would hear His voice: Harden not your hearts. –Psalm 95:7-8 Jeremiah fearlessly proclaimed that the people would not listen to God, had turned their backs on God, and were stiff-necked (Jer 7:24, 26). They had hardened their hearts. Jesus delivered a man from an evil spirit that kept the man mute. The Pharisees did not rejoice, but accused Jesus of having the devil at work in Him (Lk 11:15). They were hard of heart. Where are the hard spots in your life? Possibly you mistakenly think long-time works of the Spirit to be merely human traditions. Maybe youre not hardened to the old, but you doubt any new work of the Spirit. You may be hard of heart toward a particular denomination, country, or race. Are you open to God working in North Korea? Have you tried lately to have Christian fellowship with brothers and sisters of a different race? Often were hard of heart closer to home. How many husbands actually listen to their wives? How many wives can see past the faults of their husbands? How many parents can accept their children right where they are? We all have hard spots. Only Jesus can touch and soften the human heart. Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.
