Listen To Your Heart

You know it's crazy how things happen sometimes. Well honestly I guess it's not really crazy when you know that God is in control of your life. He moves in ways we can't comprehend with our natural limited minds.

That is why I find it so important to listen to our hearts. Our minds often over analyze things. As women we often make decisions based on our emotions. We want to please everyone, be accepted and fit in. We sometimes compromise our beliefs and integrity to fulfill the desires of others.

When we listen to our hearts we tend to be lead by the spirit of God. God's word says "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life." Proverbs 4:23. So it's no surprise when you go against your heart that things go wrong.

I feel that when we go against our heart we tend to lean on our own understanding instead of acknowledging God and letting Him guide us. If we are connected with God and allow Him to fill us with all that is good then we can rest assured that we will follow a path of love and abundant blessings.

If we allow the outside influences of the world to penetrate our souls then we are often guided down a path of confusion and pain. It is easy to be manipulated when you are searching for yourself. When you are seeking your purpose and path in life you tend to get of course for emotional reasons.

We tend to try to fill the gaps and voids in our lives with natural, fleshly desires and treasures. We settle for mediocre relationships, jobs, health, and so on. Since we don't truly understand who we are we think that is all we deserve. We don't realize that God has prepared a place for us that far supersedes any of our expectations.

So in the course of us trying to find ourselves, overcoming obstacles, learning about God and developing into the vessels we were created to be it's imperative that we listen to our hearts.

Stay true to yourself. Live your truth and let God lead the way.
