In Romans 2:5 we read that stubbornness and an unrepentant heart can cause a lot of problems in a person’s life. In contrast, a person who persists in doing good will receive God’s blessing.
We tend to label a stubborn person as one who is difficult and doesn’t get along with others. The Scriptures inform us that it is usually a heart issue.
Proverbs 4:23 says, ‘guard your heart, it is the wellspring of life.’ In Romans 10:10 we find these words: ‘It is with your heart hat you believe and are justified, it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.’
Don’t let a stubborn heart keep you from heaven or from destroying your relationships. Ask Jesus to take control of your heart so that you can be set free from living a life of recurring problems. Focus on doing things that are good and heart healthy. You will be blessed.
