Matters of the Heart | Sonsearae Johnson Testimony

The past week I’ve gained allot of perspective in matters of the heart. Pastor Adonica really opened up the scriptures to us in the class. I learn that our heart attitude governs out fate and our destiny and that when we talk about our heart we are referring to the center of everything in us. I have been selfish 99.9 percent of my life and God had began to work on my heart these past few weeks and Pastor Adonica’s class couldn’t have come at a better time. Its funny how something so small (your tongue) can be so hard to control, its as though you can hear and feel the wrong words coming up before they do and as they reach the tip of your tongue there’s a choice to be made, and the deciding factor is always our emotions. Our emotions tend to decide what we say, but the word of God says that those lead by the spirit of God are the sons of God, so when that emotion is telling us to say what’s on your mind it’s the power given to us through the Holy Spirit that enables us to bridal our tongues. I’m learning about my pride and arrogance and how I’ve live in a place of selfishness for so long that I have to learn to be unselfish, It’s like teaching a two year old to share. And in this past week the Lord has really been showing me to let people be people and not expect them to be what I want them to be; that love looks for the best in all people and not the worst. I learned that I must give mercy to others as God gives mercy to me. I know that walking in love is a lesson I will be learning daily and something I must put into practice and without the grace of God I can’t do it in my own strength.
