I Go By Way of the Heart

A few things came up in my talks with God I wanted to share. Sometimes He put things on my heart I don’t quite understand until a series of events or His communications are put together. Last week He said to me “Test him” did know what that meant but I said bring it on. What I realize know is Saturday night and Sunday were a test for me to see if I would truly go with my heart and not the rational mind I so depended upon in the past to make big decisions in life. I wrestled thru Sunday called out for help from friends who gave me their rational thoughts. Not one of them put themselves into my life to feel what I feel to truly understand the pain of my heart. I cried out that my heart was breaking. I didn’t need rational thoughts I needed someone to just show me some compassion that I was hurting. So God knew what I needed a friend who understood where you were and I was to truly help me. Thank God he sent an old friend to counsel me. My friend gave me her story for it is what my heart needed.

As you know I was heart sick for several days. This test was really big for me for I am learning that friends and even ones I trust want to provide cultural rational wisdom to help. In dealing with Love, sorrow, pain and those things of the heart we need to be less rational and more compassion to try to truly swallow those situations those feelings into our own heart. From there ask God and the Holy Spirit to give us words or a hug or just be silent to the other person.

Lord please help me give less rational advice. I also need to rely now more on my heart and God’s. He gives me much better advice and counsel then my friends.

God is strengthening me for the Kingdom I know to so to live the Kingdom way. I am learning so much being feed on a daily basis. I know God is with me. I know He is doing more than I can comprehend. He is guiding , teaching, loving, and preparing me for His needs.

This God gave to me yesterday but I read the verses around it and it is what he was trying to teach me this week. His Wisdom is for me to trust the Holy Spirit that resides in me. Maybe I should of said my Holy Spirit was manifesting itself as physical sickness be it wanted me to not do what my rational mind was doing!!!

Corinthians 2:6-15 (The Message)
6-10We, of course, have plenty of wisdom to pass on to you once you get your feet on firm spiritual ground, but it's not popular wisdom, the fashionable wisdom of high-priced experts that will be out-of-date in a year or so. God's wisdom is something mysterious that goes deep into the interior of his purposes. You don't find it lying around on the surface. It's not the latest message, but more like the oldest—what God determined as the way to bring out his best in us, long before we ever arrived on the scene. The experts of our day haven't a clue about what this eternal plan is. If they had, they wouldn't have killed the Master of the God-designed life on a cross. That's why we have this Scripture text: No one's ever seen or heard anything like this, Never so much as imagined anything quite like it— What God has arranged for those who love him. But you've seen and heard it because God by his Spirit has brought it all out into the open before you.
10-13The Spirit, not content to flit around on the surface, dives into the depths of God, and brings out what God planned all along. Whoever knows what you're thinking and planning except you yourself? The same with God—except that he not only knows what he's thinking, but he lets us in on it. God offers a full report on the gifts of life and salvation that he is giving us. We don't have to rely on the world's guesses and opinions. We didn't learn this by reading books or going to school; we learned it from God, who taught us person-to-person through Jesus, and we're passing it on to you in the same firsthand, personal way.
