A Different Perspective

Music has this ability to – well, to lift our spirits. To move us on the inside. In a way that nothing else can. And so when we make music in our hearts – music for God – there’s a healing that comes out of that overflow.

Have you ever been half hearted about something? We all have – and the thing is, when we’re half hearted, there’s on thing for certain, we’re never going to succeed. Part of us puling this way, part of us pulling the other way. Tears us apart. But God, God is into healing our hearts.

You know something – if I were God, there are a few people on this earth who would discover what wrath was all about. But fortunately for you, I’m not. And in fact, what really shocked me was to discover that God has this amazing heart – this amazing desire to heal those who once

So often – religion is about the things we do. It’s about being seen in the right places, showing up, doing things for God. And I can easily fall into that sort of thing. But I remember the shock I had when I realised that God isn’t so much into religion, as He is into a relationship.

If there’s one thing that most of us can’t stand is a fake, a hypocrite. Someone who’s one thing on the outside and something different on the inside. And when that fake, that hypocrite is us – it can end up tearing us apart.

When we’re exhausted – so tired we can’t go on, turns out that what we need to do is to stop and revive, in order to survive. We need revival deep in our hearts. And as things turn out – well, that’s God’s plan too. To revive an aching heart, and a failing spirit.

Fifty years ago, heart transplants were an impossible dream. Today, thousands of people have heart transplants every year. They’re a reality. And it turns out that God – well, God’s in the heart transplant business too. In fact, He’s been in that business for a very long time.

Sin is like heart disease – it robs us of life. Anger, resentment, pride, dishonesty, lust – all those things rob us of life. But we, well, we want to sweep them under the carpet. Problem is, when you do that – all you get, is a lump under the carpet.

We people are very much into surface things – things we can touch and feel. Someone dresses well or performs well or looks good – and we judge them to be successful. But God’s interested in something else. Something quite different. God’s interested in our hearts.

The average human heart will beat between 2 and 3 billion times in a lifetime. Amazing little thing. But when it’s sick, when it’s diseased, that can be life threatening. And it’s the same with our other heart too – that deep place where we live – you know, our heart. Join Berni Dymet as he takes a look at life - from a Different Perspective.
