Scripture for today

Mark 7:20, 23 AMPC

And He said, What comes out of a man is what makes a man unclean and renders [him] unhallowed. 23 All these evil [purposes and desires] come from within, and they make the man unclean and render him unhallowed.

Your heart is the most powerful organ in your body, because out of it can come a whole lot of things and virtues. I have come to realize that anything I want to change in my life, I need to start the change from my heart. 

Mary had a little pig and it was white as snow, That is when it had had a bath, as you of course might know. But Mary had an awful time to keep the piggy clean,For it was just the dirtiest pig that one has ever seen.

She'd wash him and she'd scrub him, till he would squirm and squeal,As if he wanted her to know it was an unfair deal. And then inside his green backyard he'd plan from morn to night, Unless he happened to sneak out and lose himself from sight.

And then when Mary found him he'd be blacker than ere before, So Mary'd get the soap again and scrub the pig some more. Poor Mary thought and wondered much what she could ever do. Until she figured out a plan, and this she carried through.

She took him to a doctor who put the pig to sleep, and then he Took his heart right out, but not of course to keep. And then he took a little lamb and took his heart out too And put it in the little pig before the piggy knew.

When little piggy did awake he had no more desire to wallow in the mud again or ever in the mire. And try as hard as ere he could he never understood,How such a pig as once he was could ever be so good.

We need to change our perception from our heart. We need to change our thought process and in the end we change our lives. God is calling us for a change of heart just like Mary. If you are eager for change, change the things you allow into your heart.

Prayer: Father, give me grace to change my heart.
