Tuesday's Devotion

"Recycling Your Heart"
By Chris Coker

This week at camp we are asking you to allow Jesus to recycle your head, heart, hands and relationships with others and with Him.

Take just a minute to ask God to begin to recycle you into the person He wants you to be.

Read Psalm 139:23-24

A heart that is open to God is the first step to being recycled by God. David says search me, and know my heart. David wants God in every part of his heart.

When we allow God total access to our heart it might lead us to be a little anxious, because we know that our heart sometimes doesn't focus on the things God wants us to focus on.

A lot of times when we are anxious we close down our heart so that no one will see our uneasiness, our fear, and doubt.

Read Philippians 4:6-7

How does Paul tell us to handle our anxious thoughts? Write them down.

When anxious thoughts come, go to God so that he may help you guard your heart and mind.

If you want your heart recycled, we need to allow God to show us the things that are offensive to Him, so that we can change directions (repent of sins) and allow God to lead us in His way.

Take this time to allow God to show you any offensive ways, in you. Write down in the space provided an offensive way and how you think God wants you to change it to a positive for Him.

The journey to a heart that is recycled for Jesus, starts when you decide to surrender your heart to Him, and allow Him to lead your life.

Prayer Time:

During your time of prayer if you have questions about a relationship with Jesus please see an adult who can help answer your questions.
