We have a sense of who we are. When asked to describe ourselves we start with the basics such as name, gender, and role in a family.  Perhaps we include our occupation and accolades such as degrees or titles earned.  We may share our perspectives on life and philosophical or political inclinations. All those elements of ourselves reside in our description of ourselves and tell others something about us. However, those descriptions do not speak of what is residing in our hearts.  They share what we may have residing in us because of particular experiences but they do not provide information about how we process those experiences.  Energetically we are sharing what is residing in our hearts without realizing it.  We all know it when we encounter someone with whom it is clear does not want us to approach with any kind of closeness or who cannot look us in the eye.  We also have been around those who have energy residing in them which invites us closer. Recognizing for ourselves what is residing in our hearts is important if we want to be present with the whole of our being.  We may have some wounds residing in our hearts causing us to want to be protective.  We may experience different parts of ourselves depending on the kind of people we are around and what we feel is residing in them.  My daily dates with God have taught me how to be present with what is residing in my heart at the moment and hold that space regardless of what I sense is residing in others.  We are called to be the truth of who we are. Deep down we may believe there is too much darkness residing in us and we resist connecting to it, but God calls us to discover the love God has designed us with which is also residing in our hearts. Any time we wish to delve past our perceived darkness and touch its light, God assures us it is residing in there.
