But in other areas they dislike the way they handle themselves in their decision-making.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Their wanting to answer to\u00a0no\u00a0one has kept them from living a\u00a0better\u00a0life. It has kept them from\u00a0knowing, and walking\u00a0in, the\u00a0greatest\u00a0LOVE\u00a0of all.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">The good news, though, is that as long as we are breathing and still alive, we can change this in a heartbeat.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">It doesn&#8217;t matter how old we are or how long we have lived this way. We can give up this stony heart and receive the heart that God has for us.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>It is impossible to live this life\u00a0without God and be truly happy and content.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">The man who walks\u00a0with\u00a0a hard heart\u00a0is\u00a0miserably\u00a0taunted,\u00a0depressed\u00a0and lonely.\u00a0This man hurts in many ways, and he can&#8217;t fix\u00a0it. He has assured himself many times, thinking this is all there is to life. The\u00a0hardness\u00a0of his own heart has determined his life and destiny.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>When we walk with\u00a0God,\u00a0we are not perfect\u00a0and our\u00a0life isn&#8217;t\u00a0perfect. But\u00a0He takes our\u00a0hard\u00a0heart and softens it, and we become more like Him.<\/p>\n<p>We care more; that right there is HUGE! That will make us change in so many ways. When we can take ourselves and put &#8220;us&#8221; aside, watch\u00a0out!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">We also\u00a0begin to <em>love\u00a0<\/em>bigger!\u00a0What? Love bigger? That&#8217;s right, we begin to love someone and don&#8217;t even understand why. It just begins to take root in\u00a0us and we just follow along. It&#8217;s a beautiful thing to experience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">When\u00a0we\u00a0walk\u00a0with God, we walk\u00a0in\u00a0His blessings each day\u00a0as\u00a0we obey Him.\u00a0We are happier and full of His JOY. No matter what comes our way, He will get us through it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>What a\u00a0difference\u00a0He makes when He\u00a0touches\u00a0our heart.\u00a0Thank\u00a0you God, we receive YOUR touch today!\u00a0Amen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Pastor Curt &amp; Pastor Ellie<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Seven Seas Ministries<br \/>\nP.O.
