Paul pleads with us to "open wide your hearts...."
Open wide your heart to God. God will "heal the brokenhearted and bind up their wounds." With God there are no secrets; no thing is unknown. Reveal yourself to the Almighty and you will be strengthened. You will be led to wholeness.
Of course, we can still refuse the guiding hand of the Holy Spirit. We can still abstain from drinking the holy and restoring waters of life that God provides. But, our first step is to open wide our hearts. To bring all that we are and all that we have before our Creator in order to be sanctified.
We need not fear. God's deepest desire is our wholeness, our shalom. God's deepest desire is our deepest desire. Yes, the realization of our desire will be difficult, painful, and trying. But, God will remain with us---healing and restoring us along the way. If we open wide our hearts.....open wide your heart.
