"I the LORD search the heart and examine the mind, to reward a man according to his conduct, according to what his deeds deserve."
The heart is astonishing. Thoughts, desires, and emotions are all related to the heart. What you set your heart to be after affects your way of life. If you set your heart on making big bucks, you'd mold your life to set yourself up for some high-earning profession and work your way up the income ladder to achieve the annual income you want as quickly as possible. If you set your heart on mastering the guitar, you would buy a guitar, take lessons, experiment day and night with your guitar until you felt fully confident with a guitar, until the instrument would become a part of your body whenever you pick it up. If you set your heart on making pancakes for breakfast, you would... well, make pancakes so you can eat them. Simple.
Your heart, abstractly, allows other people to get "closer" to you. Share your heart with another, and mutual understanding forms. Of course, "sharing the heart" is easier said than done. However, there comes a point in the relationship between two people where "sharing the heart" is "permitted". The point is entirely subjective, some trust earlier than others. However, when you wish to share with a friend, most of the time, the friend will listen. And relationships "deepen" from such sharing.
Where exactly am I going with this?
I suppose this is really, a giving of thanks.
Thanks to those who listen. Thanks to those who spend their time listening to what I have to say, important or not.
Thanks be to God for helping me break those walls to which I have once kept my own heart behind. Thanks be to God for allowing me to feel with my own heart things the heart was meant to feel. Thanks be to God for allowing me to set my heart to what the heart was meant to be set on.
The heart is amazing.
hi ohscar! :)
