Right Words, Wrong Actions

A coconut is hard to get inside. To do so you have a few options such as: chizelling away at it, hammering it, or smashing it. To get to the insides beyond the shell it takes much effort. One has to literally destroy the hard shell. I think God does the same thing with our hearts. It sounds painful, and it can be. Because sin hardens the heart, and God has to break the hardness so he can keep working with us deep on the good insides.

Another thought.. I can invite someone over by asking them -- but if I lock the doors when they arrive they arent getting in. Many times I say, "Oh God help me, I believe, I'll do anything", but whenever God wants to come in I lock him out because I'm busy sinning with my own agenda. That makes my words/confession/invitation good for nothing because my actions dont follow up.
