I spent a lot of my life working so hard to protect my heart. I had been hurt and betrayed in the deepest way and since it happened I presumed it would happen again. It did, not to the same extent, but the heart is fragile and when already bruised it is sensitive. I figured since it was not guarded by God or anyone else, it was up to me. The best I could do was to close it off. As our dates progressed over the years, there was an awareness of an internal shift. Sometimes it would occur during our prayer and meditation dates and there were also more spectacular experiences of which I have written about previously. As the change was happening I pictured melting of ice and the release of the iron guard casing around it. Slowly I saw a vibrancy of color and softness hidden and present all along. God was showing me I didn’t have to guard my heart because there was no guard needed that wasn’t already intrinsic to it. The very nature of God creating and intricately designing my heart meant it was guarded by the forces of love. My perception of it being badly wounded was simply the recognition of my heart’s energy of something foreign. As a child, it was the best decision I could make. Now as an adult I can see that the very sensitive nature of our hearts allows it to pick up on energy of a different frequency. But recognition does not mean bruising or breaking. It means noticing. God has an internal guard on our hearts so we may experience the fullness of love and everything it is touched by without changing its nature. Our part is to not misperceive what is happening and with courage and strength bring the power of love to all that is and is not.
Be From Guard!
on April 28, 2017My prayer for us is the courage to trust the guard within our hearts that secures the purity and sacredness of love’s life no matter what we experience impact-fully today.
