The past few blogs have been about the change and frustration of surrendering my heart. I’ve never really focused on my heart before, or I guess I should say, I’ve never really felt so much with my heart before, so why now?

Because God focused on my heart…

After surrendering my heart to God, I began to struggle. I struggled with why I was to walk in such awareness now. I questioned why He did not make my heart invincible and keep it protected, but instead awoken it to all that surrounds me, making it more tender. I sought Him. I needed Him. And then it happened… God revealed Himself through the awareness of my emotions… to feel His presence…to feel His compassion…to feel His gentle strength…to feel His joy…to feel His love!

And I am in love with God who I no longer see as separated from me, but who loves so deeply as to understand and experience me…moving me from just acceptance and knowledge in my mind of Him, to a relationship of the heart with Him…relating and connecting to Him and to my brothers and sisters as well. 

He asked for my heart, not to make it invincible or unbreakable, but to bring it to life… strengthening it with tenderness, yet it is safe in His hands!
 
And my heart can’t help but sing praises to God…
