Respond
In order to allow God to tend to the soil of our hearts, we need to intentionally seek Him. He’s the one who can change our hearts, but a barrier to that could be our choice to prioritize everything else above our relationship with God. He wants to shower His righteousness on you, and now is the time to seek Him. What might seeking the Lord look like for you today?
