There are a lot words that I could use to describe this week. However, at this point all I can say is WOW! What a wonderful week. There are many things that I have learned over the course of the week listening to Pastor Adonica teach on “Matters of the Heart”.

One of the most important things that I came away with this week is that it is not always as important what you do that matters as it is why you are doing it. In other words it doesn’t matter how much stuff we do to be busy for God, the church, or others if our heart isn’t right then our motives aren’t pure and if our motives aren’t pure then all of our work and efforts are in vain.

I also learned that the best way we can make sure our heart gets right and stays right is to guard what goes in our heart. If we don’t allow junk to go in we will never see junk come out and we will assure that our motives remain pure.

I have recognized many things that create road blocks in our lives that if aren’t dealt with will quickly go from roadblocks to slick highways that will lead away from God. Some of these things include unforgiveness, bitterness, jealousy, strife, bad attitudes, and disobedience. These are all areas that we must take care not to allow to take root on the inside of us.

I have also realized this week that the main thing I have to understand is that I can’t help what other people do or don’t do I am only responsible for me and my actions. As long as I keep my heart pure, maintain my integrity, and always do what is right because it is right then I know God will always take care of me regardless of what other people do.
