heart issues

"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." Romans 12:2

Have you ever had a heart issue? I have. It's been turned this way and that way, squeezed, cut, harden, punched, slapped, pulled, stomped, torn, and broken.  Recently, i added to my list an irregular heartbeat.  Of all the possible issues, i consider this last one a good and healthy hiccup.

Father, i don't want to continue beating to the same rhythm of this world with a focus on self.  The continuous pounding for more power, more happiness, more prestige, more titles, more money, more stuff is unending and unsatisfying. We live in a broken world in need of a different beat... a beat that considers the needs of others more important than self.

Help me, Father, to develop and keep an irregular beating heart.  I want it to beat first for You, and then for others... in love, understanding, giving, patience, kindness and gentleness.  Strength, correction and guidance from You is the healing i need to truly possess an aMAZing heart.

 ...be wise, and keep your heart on the right path." Proverbs 23:19

we are loved and chosen by God,

may we live, love and do like we believe it,
