Life can be a struggle at times and it can be difficult to see where God is in it. Emma and Rosemary chat about how God can refine us and transform our hearts through our struggles.

To become the beautiful person God wants us to be we need to go through a refining process. This refinement and purification of our hearts often happens through the struggles we have in life. Rosemary reminds us that God has placed a beauty within us that He wants to make perfect. He is with us through it all. 

If we are truly following Christ then we know that we have an eternal destiny. Emma and Rosemary chat about the story of the Good Samaritan and what it is to follow Christ in our lives.

We can’t go to heaven on someone else’s faith. We need to have our own personal relationship with God that we continue to work on. Rosemary encourages us to continue to pursue this relationship.

We can often believe the ‘big things’ that occur in the Bible but we don’t believe that God will do the personal things that we need in our lives. Emma and Rosemary chat about some of the questions we ask ourselves about our faith and how God wants to come to us individually and personally. 

Does my life really change when I have Jesus in my life? Do you ever ask yourself that question? God wants to have a personal relationship with us and He wants to interact in our everyday lives. In this Heartbeat Rosemary reminds us that we can have an encounter with God that is very personal to us. 

It can be difficult to strike a balance between using our abilities and relying on God. Emma and Rosemary chat about surrendering our hearts to God and allowing Him to give us the abilities we need.

Do you rely on your abilities or God? We are each given different abilities so it can be easy to rely on ourselves instead of trusting in God. Rosemary encourages us to seek a personal relationship with God that will help us to rely on Him.

Meditation can take perseverance but St Padre Pio encourages us to start with small steps. Our chat focuses on this encouragement to include meditation in our lives. 

When we seek God through meditation He draws us closer to Him. He begins to reveal to us areas of our lives that can be surrendered more to Him. Rosemary shares with us her experience of meditation.
