Heart Flow

Beloved, how is your heart? 

I know you have been through so much, for when you hurt, I hurt and when you weep, I weep with you. Do you know that each of your tears are so special to me that I record them in my book? I am not aloof and distant, as some would think, but near and full of understanding!

At times, you have kept going, holding on valiantly to your pain, even for my sake. The problem is, just like a stream, this allows life’s debris to muddy your heart. Unfulfilled expectations, broken dreams, words that have hurt you, fear, loss and grief begin to gather, stifling your peace, joy, and hope, bringing discouragement. 

Today, l want to lead you in a better way. Early and often, pause, invite my Holy Spirit to come alongside you and check in with your heart. If you find there is pain there, don’t leave it. Instead, sit a while with me and allow me into that moment to share it with you. As you do, I promise to gently wash and bathe your wounds, comfort you and heal you so deeply that, once again, streams of my refreshing, living water will flow from your heart. 

Activation: Take a moment with Holy Spirit. If there is any area of pain he reveals to you, choose to invite him into it and rest awhile, allowing him to comfort and heal you. 

Psalm 56:8 (NLT)

You keep track of all my sorrows.

You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book. 

James 4:8 (TPT)

Move your heart closer and closer to God, and he will come even closer to you.
