Heart Talk . . .

How's your inbuilt referee?

Blowing the whistle

to get your attention?

The self corrector works

if we listen to hear . . .

Did you hear that?

Every situation it monitors

giving readouts.

How wonderfully it works

impartially keeping its eye on . . .

highlighting specks and logs, and

blind spots we need to see.

Such a wonderful protector

guiding us on journeys

of discovery.

Listen to your Heart . . .

It Won't Let You Down.

Reflection

If you suffer from any type of heart disease, managing it involves regular Dr's visits and pills. Your physical activities are hindered and no matter how good your fitness levels are, these conditions monitor your daily life.

Spiritually, the subject of heart dis-ease is an issue we all suffer from, though probably, don't want to admit to. It will manifest in different ways and times depending upon the circumstances which test it.

I recently asked God if I had forgiven a person who had done me wrong and God assured me I had, but, I had closed my heart. I thought I was over that whole situation because I had forgiven but found there was more work to be done.

It's amazing how science has produced tools to monitor our Heart rate, blood pressure, sugar levels, cholesterol and the information collected goes on record with our Dr. Medical records!

The status of our spiritual heart is often measured by what proceeds from our mouth or our responses to the tests of everyday life. Those present for the test see or hear the results and it goes on record in their memory. For us we get an instant readout and if we are listening to hear, we identify trends of behaviour identifying a certain heart condition.

The great thing is our referee is impartial and just reports the facts, good or bad, without emotion. We can become emotional about the facts we have to face and so can the recipients of our behaviours, but facts are facts. When a certain response continues to manifest, it reveals something is wrong and needs our attention. This is the time we need some Heart-Searchery. This is best done with the Holy Spirit doing the work.

I John 3:19‭-‬21 NKJV

And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him. For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things. Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God.

Our heart is our inbuilt referee of life and is on duty 24/7! Here's the thing, when the referee blows the whistle to alert us, will it fall on deaf ears? Heart-Searchery is the ability to have ears to hear what it's saying and not just to hear but take action. Referring back to my story about forgiving and finding out my heart was closed, the next question is to find out how to open it again.

We are all in this boat together and having the heart to share with each other, the process and progress we are making is one of the most encouraging things we can do.

Questions
