Knowing Our Hearts

In our life the heart is the hardest to know. In fact I would have to say every day we learn something knew about our heart. Truly knowing our heart is a life time journey.

Today we may know our heart in one fashion and tomorrow in another way. We can be cruel to another or ourselves today and tomorrow we can love another. The only thing we know for sure is that our heart keeps beating on and when it stops it is the end of our life.

The important thing is we have to know how to tame it along with our tongue. The heart, the tongue and our mind can work to give praise or evil. As a child we often speak evil though at times we can be kind as well. Over time is when we learn to tame all three. We spend the time to encourage others though the words we hear ourselves from others at times can bring out the worst in us. The importance is when someone says something to us that can push our buttons is not to react in anger. Not easy to do because I know by experience easy to respond back to them.

Many of our relationships end because of how our heart reacts and our tongue spews out not a good thing. How we can renew the relationship is to go back to the other person and apologize. This is not easy to do and we may feel that they won’t accept our apology however if they mean a lot to us we must at least try and hopefully the hurts will be mended.

Today we should search out our hearts to get the evil out and to give out kindness and encouragement. Also to forgive others who have hurt us in the same way. Our life can never be the same until we do so. Let us know kindness, goodness and praise. Let us get our hearts in order. Amen!
