May my whole life be one of continued believing in You.
Purify and sanctify my heart.
Make it so tenderly susceptible to Yourself and Your love
that believing in You will become its very breath.
Andrew Murray
With Christ in the School of Prayer
To ask Jesus to make our hearts tender and wholly susceptible to His love, we must be willing to accept the pain it will bring. A tender heart acutely feels the tiniest pricks of the Holy Spirit. A tender heart requires God's work of purification, a process that is trying to our faith.
But when God works in the heart, making it pure and tender, we gain so much more than we suffer. When our hearts become tender toward conviction, our hearts become tender toward the love of God. We can know what it means to have a heart that is so tender toward His love, that knowing His presence becomes a very real and satisfying thing. The pure in heart are blessed because they see God.
