A great movie. If you haven't seen it, see it. At one point, the coach Gene Hackman says to Keanu Reeves ..."you've got miles and miles of heart" or something like that. That got me to thinking...what is this heart that I always remember people talking about? "You've got to put your heart into it". "You guys are playing like you got no heart".
What’s a person to do? Like Luther (AKA, “Brother Martin”), start each day with a heart attack – uh, make that, you allow God’s truth to adjust your heart. His version of it was “God forgive me for the best deeds I’m about to commit.” There is no help we have to offer God or his purposes. As we, in a sense, throw in the towel freshly each day, when it comes to our ability to attain the standards of God, we realize our best deeds are the “filthy rags” Isaiah referred to in Isaiah 64:6.
Once we understand that we cannot add to what God is doing – nothing but pull the “yes” trigger – yes to being available – then we flow with the change God is ushering in. When he does something great, we are the most surprised.
William Wallace's father:
Your heart is free. Have the courage to follow it.
