“And He said to them, ‘O foolish men and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!’” (Luke 24:25)

It is foolish to trust a distrusting heart. Jesus was chiding people for not trusting Him. Now, that was a foolish thing to do. Why? Because everything the human heart desires is in our union with Christ Jesus. He has been gifted, and we can receive the Gift of Grace. Like a magnet drawn close to another magnet, they correct themselves and attach themselves. Jesus said no one could disengage them from that union.

I am caught with no escape.

You, Lord, inspire my heart to collapse at Your feet. With but a touch of the hem of Your blood-stained garment, I find the Prince of Peace united to my soul.
