Your “heart” is not the topic here.
The Catholic Church is all about power, politics and money and is led by a den of vipers. It’s caught in a web of lies so deep, so wide, and so rooted, that they will never untangle themselves.
They were doing pretty good when people couldn’t read the Word for themselves. But it’s going to come unraveled soon.
I used to drink the Kool-aid, but I knew deep in my soul that it wasn’t true, and that I could never be good enough to save myself. I realized the futility of the endless Pharaseen requirements of rituals, memorized chanting, foolish gestures and empty rules never saved anyone.
I have thrown myself at the feet of Jesus (not a statue of Him) and given him my heart. Yes, annalex, my heart, which it is all about. It’s all for Him now, not for me. I trust Him and I awake every day full of joy and peace.
I wish I could tell you, my friend, how good it is to be free. Free of trying to do what you cannot do for yourself.
Jesus alone, not Jesus “and”. He is my God and my Saviour. Jesus, aka “The Word”. The Word, aka the bible.
Because of His grace, I am saved. Grace cannot be earned. I have never earned it, and anything I ever did to try was “as filthy rags”. Check your Greek, it reads “menstrual rags”. That’s how nasty my “being good enough to earn grace” was to Jesus.
What I do now I do out of thankfullness. And I can never thank Him enough! Halelujiah!
