The part of today's passage that stuck out to me the most was about opening our hearts. Last night I just found a song that will be added to my favorites list - "You'll Come." In the chorus, there is a part where the lyrics are "flood into our empty hearts again." In order to do that, we must open our hearts. Often times, as our Christian lives go on we tend to harden our hearts because of a dry spot in our relationship with God, or because God is willing for our hearts to be hardened for a revelation when we fills us again. I would say I am still in a pretty dry stage right now.. and listening to that song, I really want to open my heart again to God..
In the second part of today's passage, I agree and disagree with not interacting with non-believers. I understand it is not good to be in a place where you can compromise your Christian beliefs, but I believe if you are strong enough in your faith, you can fight the temptations that come in that setting. It is good to grow up in a community with Christians, but then again, sometimes people become sheltered to what is outside of them, namely non-believers, and possibly will come to think of non-believers as people that are not as good as them. This is all hypothetical, but I think it is okay to be friends with non-believers, just as long as you have a faith that is strong enough to not be influenced by worldly things.
