We all have moments in our lives when we feel lost.  Sometimes they are long moments.  Sometimes they seem as though we are always lost and only once in a while do we know our way.  There are so many elements involved in the whole of our being it is can be challenging to figure out what is setting the direction of our lives.  It is our thoughts, is it our feelings, is it our perception, is it our reaction, is it our choices?  What elements outside of ourselves are guiding our way in life? So much to consider it can be overwhelming.  God encourages us to lean into the heart navigator. Learning to understand the true nature of who we are at our essence gives us an inclination of what kind of direction to take.  It does not mean the navigator will make it all turn out.  It does not mean that we will only feel good as a result.  It will, at least from my experience, give us a sense of personal sovereignty and closeness with the truth of all of life.  The heart navigator becomes a compass we can look to for the general direction.  Our minds are always chattering on about the specifics and those are important.  It has charts, graphs, trajectories, landmarks and so on.  It looks to what worked before and what has worked for others. Sometimes, however, the mind’s preoccupation with specifics causes us to not see the forest through the trees.  We can lose sight of the fact that we are in the middle of a beautiful forest full of life where the heart navigator leads us even if at the moment all we see are pine cones scattered about.    God is not asking us to use the heart navigator so we become angelic and perfect in life.  God invites us to know through the navigation of our heart the beautiful design called us.
