Reflections
Over the last couple of days I had to the opportunity to take a quick to Fargo, ND. One of the benifits to traveling is that I find to sit and reflect (not alot else you can do on the plane!). As I was reading and reflecting, particular over the last year, I had a few thoughts and decided I would begin sharing them as the year end approaches.
This has been an extremely difficult year for me relationship wise. I have experienced the end of an 18 year marriage and found myself working through alot of heart related issues. In Proverbs 27:19, the Bible (my source of personal strength and encouragment) says, “As water reflects a face, so a man’s heart reflects the man.” Through the process of discovery and seperation, I often found it difficult to move with integrity and kindness and even forgiveness. I had to constantly stop and check my heart to see where I was at. You see, our heart is a great gauge to our emotional and spiritual condition. Proverbs 4:23 says, “Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. ” This challenges us to keep a guard on our hearts, or in otherwords, keep a check on it. For what flows from our heart is who we really are. “The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.”-Luke 6:45
So my challenge for today, for me and for you, is what is flowing out? When you look at your heart reflection, what do you see?
