A callous hearted person is one the world has disappointed and abused, causing pain and anguish. Then repeatedly, from one thing to another, their heart was trampled. Over and over, in the same spot, they endured the pain of rejection, suffering, exploitation, harm, racism, and put downs. With every pain, the once-innocent child born with a soft, trusting heart became hardened and insensitive (almost non-human except for the blood in their veins and the breath in their lungs). Their pain and affliction is obvious to everyone except them. It wasn’t until recently after a conversation with my wife that I asked God to remove any callouses that has inadvertently developed in my heart. I surrendered, I raised the white flag, and the peace that I am now experiencing is phenomenal. So today, I encourage you to surrender everything to God. Ask God to remove any callouses and open your hearts to receive that which God has already purposed for your life.
