I Am: the mender of hearts

I Am: the mender of hearts by ric gustafson


Ephesians 2:13- ' But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near'.


Rejection is hard for our sinful hearts. To think that we are not needed or wanted is hard to take. God did not intend for our hearts to feel that way. Adam and Eve had a fall and we suffer the consequences. Because of rejection, fear enters our heart. Fear hurts our relationships with others and with God. God accepts us as is with no strings attached. He accepts us unconditionally which is also called justification.
We might feel unaccepted but God has already accepted us into heaven. God's grace given to us is an expression of his love for us. When our hearts feel rejected, we need to remember that God has already accepted us as is and will heal and mend our sinful hearts.
