Compass Heart

Everyone follows what is in their heart. There is no point in reasoning about that from which all reasoning follows. One's heart can seek peace, love and building up, or it can love war, hate and destruction. Most muddle through somewhere in between, not even knowing their heart. Changing one's heart is not something that can be done by words alone. But the words should be out there to remind one, of roads not yet taken.

I cannot prove to you that there is a God of unspeakable beauty and benevolence who has kind plans for us. It is not provable. I know it is true, but the mind is a malleable thing. You cannot trust my mind, you cannot even trust your own. The same is true of all of us.

I can only tell you what the alternative is. A world that is purely random chance and matter in motion, without God, without soul, would be a deep dark black chasm from which there is no escape. And that is in fact what the world is, whether you know it or not, for those who do not have God.

What is your heart's desire? Cars? Women? Riches? Power? Acclaim? Do you know what all these things are? DUST. In a few hundred years, they will not be remembered, nor will you. You will be having your party in a tiny micro-instant of time, you will be partying on the Titanic, and on your deathbed, you will likely not be remembering your fancy car or nice house or hot chicks. You will be realizing that you BLEW IT. You will be remembering that you now have nothing of real value in the whole world. Sure you may still own that luxury automobile, can't do much driving on your deathbed though. Sure you might have a big house, but you are only going to be using one room of it. You may have adoring fans, but they only love your image, not you. They would tear you apart for a scrap of your pajamas.

Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.

There is a God who loves you, regardless of how wretched you are. Human beings love what they can see, but God loves the unseen. Not the pathetic wretch that you are, but the saint you could be. That is because God always lifts up, always revives, always builds.

Unfortunately, God does not interfere with you if you do not want Him to. He doesn't force you to love Him. If you want a heart for God, you have to ask Him for it.

So I ask you what is in your heart. Is it love, peace and building up, or something else. If it is something else you might not be able to change your heart, but God can. Ask Him. :)
