Heart Change

My Daily Musings-July 20th, 2026

“The Christian life is a process of having your natural self changed into a Christ self. One’s most private wishes, one’s point of view, are the things that have to be changed.” — C.S. Lewis

I love this quote by C.S. Lewis. I also love his story. He spent years as an atheist before carefully researching, pondering, and eventually embracing Christianity. Once he found Christ, he was all in. His life and writings continue to inspire me because they reflect a sincere desire to follow the Savior.

This quote reminds me that becoming a Christian isn’t just about changing what we do—it is about allowing Jesus Christ to change who we are. It means setting aside our own desires, aligning our will with His, and making our Savior and our Heavenly Father the center of our lives.

I know I still have a long way to go, but I want to become more like Christ each day. As I put Him first, I trust that He will guide my life, strengthen me, and help me become the person He knows I can be.

What would it look like for you to be “all in” for Christ today? Is there an area of your life where He is inviting you to trust Him a little more or align your will more closely with His?

Thank you for subscribing-may these words bring a quiet moment of peace and reflection to your day.

C.S. Lewis once said, “The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us.”

I love this reminder because sometimes we think we have to earn Heavenly Father’s love by being perfect first. But His love for us already exists. It always has. He loves us in our struggles, our weaknesses, our failures, and our growth.

I think as we grow closer to Him, something beautiful begins to happen naturally. We start wanting to become more like Him. We want to be kinder, more forgiving, more patient, and more loving because we feel those qualities from Him so deeply ourselves.

It reminds me a little of the people we surround ourselves with in life. When we spend time with someone who is genuinely kind, loving, and good, don’t we naturally want to be around them more? Don’t their qualities begin to influence us over time?

How has God’s love helped change your heart over the years?
What qualities of Christ do you most hope to develop as you grow closer to Him?

I am grateful that God doesn’t wait for us to become perfect before He loves us. His love is what helps us become better little by little.
