Letter to My Heart

You and I have been through a lot together over the years. In the times I've acknowledged the voice of God within you leading me, I've experienced joy, love, peace, breakthrough and ecstasy beyond my wildest dreams. When I've ignored or resisted your quiet promptings, I've endured more pain and trouble than I'd like to admit...pain that was preventable had I just trusted that God's ways were, in fact, higher than my own. In short, I have often battled you with the thoughts of my mind, which for me are usually persistent and strong and sometimes overpowering when compared with your subtle cues. I guess I'm just writing to say 'I'm sorry.' I'm sorry that I haven't respected you and valued you more because you've been given to me by my Creator as a means of deep, intimate communication and Divine connection with the most important Person in my life - Jesus. I choose this day to take time to listen to you, to consciously 'quiet' my mind even more so that I can learn to recognize you on an even greater level and I purpose, by the grace of God, to follow His direction that is whispered to me through you as I know that only by Him am I able to fulfill my true purpose on this earth.
