Today readers get a 'double dose' of Max Lucado. We used both of these in our Sunday School class yesterday. I thought you would enjoy them as well:
The Mind of Christ
The heart of Jesus was spiritual. Our hearts seem so far from His. He is pure We are greedy. He is peaceful; we are hassled. He is purposeful; we are distracted. How could we ever hope to have the hart of Jesus?
Ready for a surprise? You already do. You already have the heart of Christ. Would I kid you? One of the supreme promises of God is simply this: if you’ve given your life to Jesus, Jesus has given Himself to you.
The Apostle Paul explains it in 1 Corinthians 2:16: “Strange as it seems, we Christians actually do have within us a portion of the very thoughts and mind of Christ.”
The same one who saved your soul longs to remake your heart. His plan is nothing short of a total transformation. Let’s fix our eyes on Jesus. Perhaps in seeing Him, we will see what we can become!

You Are Tweakable
You aren't stuck with today's personality. You aren't condemned to 'grumpydom'. You're tweak-able, changeable. From whence come statements such as 'It's just my nature to worry; or "I'll always be pessimistic, I' must that way'. Or "I have a bad temper. I can't help the way I react." Who say?
