I will give you a New heart and put a New spirit within you.
Ezekiel 36:26 (NKJV)


Our hearts are our spiritual centers where thoughts and feelings dwell; they form our characters. Since we are made in God's image, we know that He, too, has a heart. The Bible mentions the word "heart" hundreds of times, but what is it really telling us about the heart of God and how we can grow our own hearts in His truth?


In her book It's a Matter of the Heart author Shenita Johnson combines her own personal observations with biblical insight to elaborate on the important role the heart plays in our walk with the Lord. Johnson shares various topics of the heart, including:


Cultivating forgiveness
Guarding your heart
Ensuring a pure heart
Following your heart
Healing a broken heart
Unlocking hearts for a blended family
Fixing a hardened heart
Taming a rebellious heart


Spending time with God and keeping your heart full of His word is our number-one priority. Shenita Johnson builds a guide to the life God has invited us to enjoy. She helps clear away the ambiguity and creates a clear picture of how you can model your heart after the Lord's. God certainly values the state of your heart, so how are you positioning your heart to please Him?
