“I shall run the way of Your commandments, For You will enlarge my heart.”
(Psalm 119:32, NASB)
“An enlarged heart, in the physical sense, is dangerous. But spiritually speaking, an enlarged heart can be a blessing … If you have an enlarged heart spiritually, you are ready to walk and run with the Lord and accomplish His purposes …
What does it mean to have an enlarged heart? First, an enlarged heart is open to God’s truth. It’s a heart that’s honest and says, “Lord, I want Your truth even if it hurts.”
Second, an enlarged heart is obedient to God’s will … It’s a humble heart that says, “O God, what You have said, I will do” …
Third, an enlarged heart is occupied with God’s glory. It’s a happy heart … What a wonderful thing to grow in grace and the knowledge of truth …
(from Prayer, Praise & Promises by Warren W. Wiersbe, page 305)

Today I am joining … Scripture & a Snapshot .
Yes, I suppose in the spiritual sense, I really DO want an enlarged heart!
This is another of those words I’ve passed right by with only a vague notion what it means. How enlightening to dig in and explore it. I sure want God to enlarge my heart.
Open to God’s truth, humble and obedient, and occupied with God’s glory–I want an enlarged heart! Thank you for sharing this challenge.
