“Honor your heart. Follow your heart,” a friend often says to me. “But my heart has always been wrong,” I would reply.
What does it mean to honor your heart?
I’ve always been a thinker. Forget what my heart says…I’d analyze, rationalize and eventually put so much thought into my action or re-action that by the time my mind was made up…it was too late.
Follow your heart…
God instructed us to be humble for a reason. His law is not useless like the “no bubble gum rule” in grade school. He knows so much more than we ever will. We should love his law because above all else, it protects us and keeps us safe.
Just last night, a war was declared within me. My mind told me to be stubborn and prideful. It said to overlook my desires and what I wanted. It said to ignore and assume. It knew what I deserved and it knew I wasn’t getting it.
With these thoughts came turmoil. I was stuck and couldn’t move. I was held down and miserable; strapped to chair in a straight-jacket. Courage and motivation could not be found. I was dying inside for help, release. I needed the sweet rain to wash over me and loosen these chains.
But then something happened… I ignored the thoughts in my head and hit the send button.
I followed my heart.
As I exhaled, I could feel my strength returning. The analyzing and assuming had stopped. A decision was made. The chains fell to my sides and my motivation had returned. I could breathe again!
Follow your heart…
I’ve followed my heart before. But like this time, it didn’t get me what I was hoping for. It taught me a lesson and gave me more.
I’m sure my friend knew this all along and I can see him now, sitting back, grinning and thinking, “Yes. That’s it…honor your heart.”
I went to sleep and dreamt of dancing around, squashing mini balloons with my wonderful child in beautiful, clear water. God had given me the cleansing and refreshing that I needed…all because I followed my heart.
I woke up this morning praising our almighty God. And when I realized that my spirit had been opened again, I had another revelation... As my dear friend has also said, “God is love” I realized that when we honor love, we connect again with God.

I crawled into bed last night relieved and at peace. I had honored my heart no matter the outcome. There will not be any “What-If’s” in my future. I will not walk away from this situation asking myself if I was stubborn or if I had made the right decision. I can walk away knowing that I honored my feelings and acted from love.

Thank you. I've realized a few things since last we spoke. What we are really seeking but confuse with others, the tool of the Ego to keep us in the delusion of Fear, the illusion of duality, is we are seeking God, who is Love. If you really read the Bible and look for the imagery, the clues are there. At any rate, whether we wish to be with God or Love (both are One really), we must go inside, close the door, and pray, Focused prayer/meditation within because that is what Jesus said: "The Kingdom of Heaven is within" and "Our Father who art in Heaven." If the prayer he taught focuses on the place he said is within, it means God is not apart or away, God is within. In connecting with Love, that feeling, we connect with God. We forget because it is a beautiful experience to share with another and we confuse that it is external but really, we feel it because WE feel it. Life is independent of any one particular else because the Journey of the Soul is back to God, which is a part of all of us. Seeing the reflection of God, Love within, feeling it, allows us to see that God is everywhere and is the reason we experience with others in the first place.
ReplyDeleteI didn't intend for that to be so long, but it felt right. I'm stoked for you. It sounds like you are doing very well and it is beautiful that you share your journey from your view, how it is hard at times because we must go to God, live in Love daily, we have to choose it. Your journey will inspire many!
Thank you much.
