SCRIPTURE: Deut. 30-31; Ps. 40; 1 Cor. 1

Deuteronomy 30:6
God, your God, will cut away the thick calluses on your heart and your children’s hearts, freeing you to love God, your God, with your whole heart and soul and live, really live.

OBSERVATIONS: Repetitive actions can result in calluses. But there are times when you need to be able to sense and feel; calluses don’t allow for that. With those rough, thick spots removed, I can feel the emotions and empathize with those who are torn and broken. This can open up new doors of service–giving myself away. This is living. Real living.

APPLICATION: Follow You.

PRAYER: How could I not give it away so freely, God? Teach me to love again, agape love, in the Name of Christ. Amen.
