James 1:22-25 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.

Ask God to open your heart to receive His Word of truth.  Then act in faith on His promises.  The Lord has made our hearts receptive and our feet active to live out His Word, move into His blessings, and share His good news.  We don’t just hear God and forget, we listen with our hearts and act! This means we love like God, we forgive like God, we persevere like God, and we show grace, mercy and compassion like God!!!  Open up, listen, and act in faith!
