Fresh Hearts

I heard the expression recently "keep your heart green", meaning: Stay fresh in the Lord. To do this we have to read His Word daily, pray, worship, put on the full armor of God, walk in love, afresh every day. Yesterday's manna won't do for today.
I am not writing this because I have come close to perfecting this action in my life, but because I am inspired to do so. When I take time to be filled each day anew, my day turns out better, simply stated. I am filled with way more joy in the trials, I have much more peace, I am not as short with my children, and I am excited about where my life is going and who is in it. On the flip side, when I rely on yesterday's faith to get me thru today, I fail at life. That sounds terrible, but really, I am a really incomplete person without God's grace and His indwelling every single day. I am prone to anger and isolation, and even selfishness. I am a crabby mother, and a crabby wife. All I want to do all day when I am in my fleshliness, is sit around catering to my own needs.
Not that I have time to do that, but it is my desire, and my children or my husband get my bad attitude while I do things for them, rather than a happy heart that is willing to do things out of love for them.
I want to have a fresh, green heart every day. So with that, I should go be with Him now. I leave you with this quote: "Give God the fresh blossom of the day. Never make Him wait until the petals have faded."
