What do you carry within your heart? Love, Hate, Jealousy, Envy, Trust, Comfort, etc….
We all carry different things. Some of us are happy, some sad. What are we living for? Most people are searching for worldly things. Fame, wealth. But, how many of us go to bed at night with the deep empty feelings in our guts? I used to hate that. Now that I am not empty anymore, I am completely satisfied. My emptiness is not filled up with something I have created in my mind to make me feel filled with purpose, something I have to hang onto in order to believe I am here for a reason. I am filled with certainty. I have spent the past 8 years searching deep things. I have went deep into places I never would have went into on my own. My gut is filled with the REAL purpose, the only purpose. The only love that can fill and be overfowing. It cost a lot of time that could have been spent on education, but education means nothing to me. I am after different things. I am a dreamer, and I have been taken away with my dreams. Most people will think I’m crazy, but I don’t care. People can explain away in a heartbeat why God isn’t real. People are caught up in logic and facts and science. Remember Peter Pan? Why is the heart of a child so different from the heart of an adult? A child’s heart has not been bombarded with all our cares, all our reasons, they automatically receive and have faith just because you said so. They cast all their cares away. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to live my life the way a lot of adults do. I want to be childlike. I couldn’t figure out why when I was a kid I would do crazy things without a second thought, and have a blast, and now that I’m an adult, I can’t even go down a slide at Dolly’s splash country (amusement park) without feeling my heart is gonna explode. When I ride in the car with my husband, I’m over in the passenger seat slamming on my imaginary brakes, whenever I ”think” we might be fixing to crash. Does it make sense that some of us are bigger chickens now than when we were children? Where does the faith go? It’s in there somewhere. When we start to search for the deeper things, the things that matter, the things that contain truth, the unseen reality, that there is a creator that desperately desires for us to know him, we will find out that things can be quite different. No matter what you want in life, if you really want to live, you have to put your head up in the clouds a little bit. If you daydream about what’s up in the clouds enough, the clouds might just come down with you. Think a little deeper, think about the silly things, think about the impossible things more, think with your heart. Learn how to use the deep universe inside you, and you will discover there’s truth that you can draw out from within you. Your destiny is in there. Your God is in there, and he wants to do the impossible in you and through you. Believe a little, trust a little, give a little, dream a little. Don’t be so grown-up, learn to have that childlike heart. Grab hold of your dreams, reach for them with all your might, and you will do great and mighty things. Don’t choose to be ordinary, choose to be extraordinary. I am simply encouraging you to think more with your heart, and to examine what’s in it.
