Contrary to the opinion that hearts of stone are the result of toughness and strength I say that hearts of stone are the result of fear.
So if your heart is hard and unforgiving.
If you are selfish and miserly.
You are most likely afraid.
This is why it is important not to preach fear.
Fear of judgement, fear of punishment for sins, fear of hell create a heart that is cold and hard.
The result is violence and force.
But contact with the true God softens our fears and softens our hearts.
We feel love and compassion.
We care and we help.
We have hearts of flesh.
