Well what a day, what a week, what a month, what a year. I have learned a lot about the way of the heart, in particular my own heart. When my heart is in His hands, no matter what comes my way, I am ok. However, when my heart is in my hands, which is a very bad idea, things go oh so wrong. I have come to see that I am a very emotional person. Yes, I am a woman, and yes we are emotional. Some of use are more emotional than others. I have learned that I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve and tend to not protect my heart as I need to. However the Lord wants to use me for His Kingdom is up to Him and needs to be fine with me. I need to let my heart and mind rest in Him. Read Psalms 91 today and versed 4-6 really stood out to me.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
What a sweet reminder in a time when things seem hard and the heart would just give up if it weren't for the firm grasp the Lord has on it. I have decided and will continue to decide that He is going to be worth it all. Yielding to Him and His ways everyday, every hour, every minute, every second of everyday. My heart needs to rest in Him alone for I am His and He is mine.
