Every day, we harden our hearts to the gentle promptings of the Spirit of God. We make excuses. We reduce His inspiration to our own measure. We bargain with Him.
Or we drown out His voice with every kind of noise, with our own projects, with the plans that our hearts have already set for themselves.
We are so busy. We are anxious about many things.
"Harden not your hearts...."
"But Lord, I have to do it this way, don't you understand? I'm trying to glorify You, preach Your gospel, serve the poor, change society, fight against the evil forces in the world, and do lots of good."
"Harden not...."
"But God, I'm doing this for the New Evangelization! I want to make You known and loved. What more could You want?"
"...your heart."
