Symptoms of a Spiritually Weak Heart
I mentioned seven symptoms of a spiritually struggling heart the other day.
- 1. A person with a spiritually weak heart is easily stressed. It can ruin their day if the smallest of things goes wrong. The waitress had better not be late to the lunch table . . .
2. The spiritually weak heart is driven by what others think. Clothes, houses, jobs, money, honor, prestige—these are the priorities of a weak heart.
3. The spiritually weak are open to pretense. They keep up appearances and look good doing it. They are one-way around friends and different when they talk to teachers. They play the game.
4. The spiritually weak are way overconfident in our own ability. They believe in all the compliments of others and in our ability to get things done. They are so proud.
5. The spiritually weak have no margin to do good. They operate out of the bottom line and what’s best for them.
6. The spiritually weak scapegoat and are defensive.
7. The spiritually weak are restless and hungry. They are inpatient and irritable, angry and self-serving.
If you have symptoms like these, watch out. When you are alone, the big demons will come your way and fill your heart with despair or tell you that you deserve more in life.
