Hollywood has made fortunes making love story films. While some are comedies, created for a good laugh, every year there is usually one that connects with the human spirit. Whether its a scene, a similar situation an individual has endured or a real life story, drama has a way of touching hearts, striking a nerve or unlocking the floodgates as tears stream down faces in the audience.
In the book of Exodus, Moses refers to a spiritual prompting, moving someone to give out of the overflow of their heart. Whether its the sight of a homeless person on a street corner, pictures of a natural disaster on television or guilt from a privileged life without any trials, the heart moves people beyond their comfort zones, Exodus 25:2. King Solomon compared to heart to a underground springs, bubbling with life, forcing water to the surface, Proverbs 4:23.
According to Jesus, when the prompting of the heart ceases in many, end times are near, Matthew 24:12. The so what, I don’t care, what a waste of time mentality has spread like a cancer among several communities. Hate crimes, violence and wickedness are merely byproducts of hearts that have turned cold. Maybe Foreigner was right in their song, “Cold as Ice,” except in these days you don’t have to break up with someone to witness or be a recipient. Regardless of how holy Christians claim to be, we all need a spiritual heart transplant, Galatians 5:6, so that the prompting of our hearts will make this world a better place to live!
