The Heart Advisor
There are two ways of the heart.
500 years apart two outstanding Christian minds who knew their hearts well reflected upon it. Both are correct.
- "I am more afraid of my heart than of the Pope and all his Cardinals. I have within me a greater pope - self." ~ Martin Luther
- "If I am graced to understand with my head and to accept with my heart that the essence of the divine nature is compassion, then God is best defined by the heart of tenderness." ~ Brennan Manning
Both blindness and compassion wrestle within a man's heart. But only one wrestler can win.
As with an old suburban tale of two fighting dogs, which one becomes victor?
The answer is simple:
the one that is fed.
What heart would you feed within you? The heart of heaven or the heart of humans?
Feed on Him alone who promises and will always deliver:
I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. (Ezekiel 36:26)
