promises

For all of us who feel trapped in our sin...


Ezekiel 36
26 And I will give you a new heart,

          and I will put a new spirit in you.

I will take out your stony, stubborn heart

     and give you a tender, responsive heart.

27 And I will put my Spirit in you so that you will follow my decrees and be careful to obey my regulations.


(same passage, in The Message)
I'll give you a new heart,

     put a new spirit in you.

I'll remove the stone heart from your body

          and replace it with a heart that's God-willed,

       not self-willed.

I'll put my Spirit in you and make it possible for you to do what I tell you and live by my commands.
