Bible Texts: Pro.23:26, Matt.15:18-20, Jn.15:5, Mk.7:6, Heb.10:22, Rom.12:1-3, Pro.4:19-21, Matt.5:14-16, Gal.4:19
As the husbandman, you are a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God (Rom.12:1-3). So, God is interested in you and wants you to give Him your heart. God wants you to give Him your heart because the quality of your heart influences the quality of your life.
My son, give me thine heart and let thine eyes observe my ways (Pr.23:26)
If your heart is right, your conduct will also be right because out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. The totality of your action or inaction, whether good or bad, is as a result of the state of your heart. Read what Jesus Christ, the perfect example of the good and godly husbandman says.
But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart, and they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. These are the things that defile a man, but to eat with unwashed hands defileth not a man (Matt.15:18-20)
God wants your heart so that He can feed it with graceful seeds that will mould you to have self control over your emotions. God wants your heart so that He can whisper to you His wisdom on how to respond to the issues of life. God wants your heart so that He can clean you up from every form of filthiness because you have His mind.
However, for you to give your heart to God and become a living sacrifice, you must accept that your life needs help and be willing to seek His face in fellowship. If thou be willing and obedient, thou shalt eat the fruit of the land (Is.1:18-19). Your heavenly Father wants the best for you, and so giving Him your heart and allowing Him to have His way will be your joy.
As the husbandman, you cannot be better than the quality of what is in your heart. So, as you give God your heart, He will help you to reorder your thoughts, words, actions and conduct to make them fit for yourself and for the good of others, thereby making you the good and godly husbandman, bringing glory and praise to Jesus Christ.
