The Human Heart

The human heart from faith departs,

The flesh of man, it kicks the can,

It dwells in cannots, all things failed,

A change in life course, it has bailed.

The heart of man, it feeds the flesh,

It leaves the person in a mess,

And few are those who will confess,

Results of sin they’ll not address.

For many live in unreal worlds,

Their private sins they’ve not unfurled,

They keep them secret, not to share,

So masquerades are what they wear.

The human heart is selfish, grim,

It will not bow to God, not Him,

It keeps its distance, sin to guard,

For faith in Christ is just too hard.

Christ’s Free Servant, Sue J Love

When we humans are born into this world, we are born with sin natures, in the image of Adam, the first man God created, and the first man to sin against God. So human hearts are prone to sin. They are prone to be selfish and to do what is wrong. And so Jesus gave His life up for us on that cross to change our hearts to be more like Jesus, to be people of faith who now live for Him in obedience to His commands, and no longer as slaves to sin.
