A Heart Transformed

A Heart Transformed

Here’s the great relief of stewardship: you’re not doing this alone. God is not asking you to manage your heart in your own strength. He is the One who transforms it, renews it, and restores it.

God gave Ezekiel the promise of heart replacement, not repair. God takes the heart hardened by disappointment, lies, sin, fear, trauma, and unmet expectations. In its place, He gives us a heart that beats with Him—tender, alive, and fully responsive to His Spirit.

And if you ever doubt that God really does this, just look at David’s life. When the prophet showed up at Jesse’s house, David wasn’t even invited to the lineup. He was overlooked by his own father, dismissed by his brothers, and invisible to everyone in the room. But not to God. The Lord saw past all the outer qualifications and said, “I have found a man after My own heart.” David didn’t become that man because he was perfect. He became that man because he allowed God to continually reshape, soften, and steward his heart.

Heart stewardship means tending what God places within you: a new heart, a new spirit, and a new capacity to love, obey, believe, and walk in purpose. You are not the old you trying to act new. You are a new creation learning to live from the life He’s placed inside you.
