From the Heart. . . .



DEDICATED TO MY DEAR DAUGHTER-IN-LAW, SANDRA!

In today's segment, if you permit me, we will steer just a little away from the norm to discuss some issues of life that concern us all.
It's called: From the Heart. . . . As we all venture through life, we adopt relationships that are binding and penitrating. Especially those relationships of family and (real friends).

We sometimes forget that these people have attached themselves to us without intention. It's called Love!

We develop a "love" for those individuals as it becomes a part of our own makeup and personality. We conduct ourselves a certain way around those people and ready at an instant, to come to their aid.
At times we don't always vocalize our appreciation and admiration for these individuals but some how they know and feel that special relationship; and know that that relationship is pulsating whether visable or not. It's love from the heart.

There however will come a time for all things to cease. Some times our relationships are impacted by departure.
The scriptures say: Romans 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. . . .and we are, only because our love comes from the heart.

You see my precious readers, everything has a season: a time to live, and a time to die. A time for joy and a time for sadness; nevertheless what we hold dear to us are only those things of the heart. Those things we never loose.
Many times we act incorrectly to situations only because we don't understand them.

1 Corinthians 13:12
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

As we are enlightened in our knowledge and understanding, our responses to life's impacts automatically change, thus we find closure with the assurance that only the tangable is gone; but the things of the heart remain.

In sickness, in death, in sorrow, in shame, in departure, in distance; can never match the things of the Heart!
So be of good cheer, and be encouraged knowing that there are some things that can never be taken away from you . . . . things from the Heart!

God Bless you today and always remember. . . . .YOU ARE BLESSED

I have to remind myself that we constantly go through seasons and soon the season will change.
