God made my heart this way.
Trusting. Hoping, Loving.
Seeing the good in others even when they can’t see it in themselves.
+++
What is deep within always rises to the top.
Whether lies, hate, and evil,
Or love, hope, and faith.
+++
God made the hearts of mankind this way.
Only able to hide who they are for a little while,
But our heart always reveals its contents.
+++
Our hearts are not vessels that contain,
As much as they are a living sponge,
Soaking in and releasing with every beat.
+++
WHY did God make our hearts like this?
VULNERABLE to everything that soaks into them.
REVEALING their contents to others with every beat.
+++
Because he made us to have free will, free choice.
He knew that our hearts are vulnerable because they have a greater purpose,
And only God, through Holy Spirit, can mend our hearts and transform them… love through them.
+++
The cages we build around them aren’t failproof, they leak.
Hate or love, evil or good,
Nothing stays hidden… by design.
+++
Why? Because our hearts were created to house God himself. And the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit will NEVER stay hidden.
+++
God’s temple is our heart,
And over time, we build a cage around it, thinking that it will protect us.
But he knew that we would do that too.
+++
Humans hurt other humans, because our hearts transfer their contents like sponges.
Open wounds, scars and all,
It all comes out, leaking through our human-built cages.
+++
God created us humans to be one.
One body, unified.
No one person complete, everyone with a void.
+++
Hearts connected.
Sharing shame, anger, and grief.
Sharing joy, celebration, and care.
+++
My heart was created in God’s design.
Cages are NOTHING to God, and he rips it off like it’s tissue.
Jesus’s blood washes away every impurity, and soothes every wound.
+++
I feel vulnerable, but then I see Jesus, no longer on the cross.
He’s right where he was supposed to be all along.
He is in my heart.
+++
My heart… God’s temple.
Flowing with trust, hope, and love.
Seeing the good in others even when they can’t see it in themselves.
