Good Monday evening, I pray your day has been a great one and that you are now at home ready to kick back and relax. If your day was a negative one, blow it out now and know that you will never have to live this day again as it is gone forever.
In prayer this evening I said my normal usual prayers and added the host of request for prayers that I was asked of today. I love being able to have the freedom of prayer and I love the fact that once I have lifted prayer I know that they are hand delivered to our Father in heaven and his will, will be done for all prayers lifted! I believe in miracles and I thanked him for revealing them to us so often. I thanked him for the friendship of you and asked him to continue to bless me with his love, his compassion, his grace and his mercy. I asked all of these blessings in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Control of Your Heart
Author: Terri McPherson
A wise and understanding heart does not repay a hurt with a hurt. In doing so, the heart is diminished. Fissures form. Love leaks out. Every pain given in return for one received, changes the contents of the heart. It is no longer defined by love, wisdom and understanding. It is redefined by the bearers of hurt and hate, pain and prejudice, meanness and madness, sorrow and sadness. You give away control of your very own heart.
The despair of being hurt is healed by overcoming it, not clinging to the hurt and inflicting more of it on the world. When darkness is added to darkness, no one can see, no one can love. Everyone loses.
Love is not always warm and fuzzy. Sometimes it's the integrity we hold on to when we're tempted to strike back. Sometimes it's the honor that keeps us from exchanging the valuable contents of our heart for the harsh satisfaction of lashing back.
No, the way of love is not always easy, but when night falls, dawn is assured.
The integrity and honor of a wise and understanding heart, rises with the sun of a new day.
"Because you have asked for understanding to discern judgment. I have given you a wise and understanding heart." 1 Kings 3:11-12
Living in love and loving life,
