Darkness rips across the cold anchors of space. Hearts remain under the tears of time. Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life. ~ Proverbs 4:23 Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, But a good word makes it glad. ~ Proverbs 12:25 ... and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. ~ Philippians 4:6-7 Blessed are those who live past wicked shame
A merry heart does good, like medicine, But a broken spirit dries the bones. ~ Proverbs 17:22 Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; ... ~ 1st Thessalonians 5:16-18 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I say rejoice! ~ Philippians 4:4 A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance, But by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken. The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge, ... ~ Proverbs 15:13-15 A Joyous Life is not Compulsive Complainer
Life is a meal of choice. Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me ... ~ Psalms 139:23-24 Perversion's hinge is a heart's destruction
... you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God; ... ~ 1st Thessalonians 4:1-2 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ~ Romans 5:8 ... each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in passion of lust, ... ~ 1st Thessalonians 4:3-5 Seeing truth is standing against lies
Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: ~ Hebrews 12:14 ... those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men. ~ Titus 3:8 ... put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, ... ~ Ephesians 4:22 ... but if they cannot exercise self-control, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion. ~ 1st Corinthians 7:9 The LORD looks from heaven; He sees all the sons of men. ... He fashions their hearts individually; He considers all their works. ~ Psalms 33:13-15 Freedom is the Ultimate act of Love
The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, They have done abominable works, ... ~ Psalms 14:1-2 Darkness crashes below the boundary of light
... incline your ear to wisdom, And apply your heart to understanding; ~ Proverbs 2:1-2 Apply your heart to instruction, And give your ears to words of knowledge. ~ Proverbs 23:12 So teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom. ~ Psalms 90:12 Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. ~ Psalms 51:10 Teach me Your way, O Lord; I will walk in Your truth; Unite my heart to fear Your name. ~ Psalms 86:11 ... who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. ~ 2nd Corinthians 4:6 ... strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; ... ~ Ephesians 3:14-19 Fully understandable is the touch of God
... that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, and attaining to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God, ... ~ Colossians 2:2-3 Treasure finds peace the greatest prize
Peace is disturbed when incentive has no purpose. To remain lethargic in the complacency of corruption heals no soul. To lift the spirit one must obtain a higher song where wishes call to hope. God waits to hear from each mortal heart
All hearts rest upon the gift of God's light.
... He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end. ~ Ecclesiastes 3:11 Invincibly done for our Wonder
But He said, "You cannot see My face; for no man shall see Me, and live." ~ Exodus 33:20 He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth on nothing. ~ Job 26:7 Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite. ~ Psalms 147:5 ... God, the LORD, The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. ~ Isaiah 40:28 ... no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account. ~ Hebrews 4:13 ... we have heard His voice from the midst of the fire. We have seen this day that God speaks with man; yet he still lives. ~ Deuteronomy 5:24 God is visible in all that can be perceived
As we walk through life we see one another. This does not change the fact while, if we are fortunate enough, to know the bottom of our own hearts, we can never see or know that naked conscience of another. We can know of others, but in God's own image, we all maintain autonomy unique to the psyche of self. To see God is to know of Him, and respond to this two-way call from the depths of our bottom desires. It is a call to mutually connect in the holiest of pure unimpeded caring; absolute submission. This defines a moment, and a test, as marriage reflects this ultimate human achievement, the genuine commitment over foolish fleeting's. The magic of love is found in freedom's core, joyously loving others. "Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God." ~ Matthew 5:8 ... serve Him with a loyal heart and with a willing mind; for the Lord searches all hearts and understands all ... ~ 1st Chronicles 28:9 To find God is to know God
'... I will give them a heart to know Me, that I am the LORD; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God, for they shall return ...' ~ Jeremiah 24:7 God comes to a child's honest simple heart
So God, who knows the heart, acknowledged them by giving them the Holy Spirit, ... ~ Acts 15:8-9 "... unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven." ~ Matthew 18:3 "... the LORD does not see as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." ~ 1st Samuel 16:7 God dwells in the depths of all Creation
The preparations of the heart belong to man, But the answer of the tongue is from the LORD. ... ~ Proverbs 16:1-2 As a Rock His word Remains judging in Truth
Everyone proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD; ... ~ Proverbs 16:3-5 Eternal Love is where a True Heart Lives
The spirit of a man is the lamp of the LORD, Searching all the inner depths of his heart. ~ Proverbs 20:27 ... the Lord, who stretches out the heavens, lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him: ... ~ Zechariah 12:1 The Spirit of God has made me, And the breath of the Almighty gives me life. ~ Job 33:4 Remember your Creator before the silver cord is loosed, Or the golden bowl is broken, ... ~ Ecclesiastes 12:6 ... Who gives breath to the people on it, And spirit to those who walk on it: ~ Isaiah 42:5 Given by God the Light that fires in each soul
A man's steps are of the LORD; How then can a man understand his own way? ~ Proverbs 20:24 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, But the Lord weighs the hearts. ~ Proverbs 21:2 There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death. ~ Proverbs 16:25 Mankind requires proper instructions to live
There are many plans in a man's heart, Nevertheless the LORD'S counsel-that will stand. ~ Proverbs 19:21 ... He who trusts in his own heart is a fool, But whoever walks wisely will be delivered. ~ Proverbs 28:25-26 Actions reflect purpose and motives rule
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, ... ~ Proverbs 3:5-7 Reliant on God over self declares character
A man's heart plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps. ~ Proverbs 16:9 "Truly, this only I have found: That God made man upright, But they have sought out many schemes." ~ Ecclesiastes 7:29 The paranoid pompous greedy ignore their own
The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, And He delights in his way. ~ Psalms 37:23 O LORD, I know the way of man is not in himself; It is not in man who walks to direct his own steps. ~ Jeremiah 10:23 Now may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ. ~ 2nd Thessalonians 3:5 Intuition can hear the nudges of His truth
You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand. ~ James 5:8 Influence is only as good as it results in positive change and upwelling thoughts to inspire life's progress. It can be a challenge to rely on things and or people with all the conflicts, and swirling desires enmeshed in accusations, as well as denials. Time is a creation to test patience in truth, and reveal individual hearts in trouble. How we respond declares what we depend upon, ourselves, or a higher sense that knows better than we ever could. Pure thoughts void of animosities can only be born, and arise, from the love that extends from without from within. To be full of self neglects this greater sense of emptying back to God, and His reason for creation; to retrieve honest souls. Nature calls to reflect goodness in God's Creation
Loyal Hearts find God in Service to His Word.
As in water face reflects face, So a man's heart reveals the man. ~ Proverbs 27:19 "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. ..." ~ Matthew 12:35-37 One cannot hide from essence of heart

... opportunity to boast on our behalf, that you may have an answer for those who boast in appearance and not in heart. ~ 2nd Corinthians 5:12 Arrogance has the aroma of an evil heart
... If anyone is convinced in himself that he is Christ's, let him again consider this in himself, that just as he is Christ's, even so we are Christ's. ~ 2nd Corinthians 10:7 Earth's prison bars traps one under the sky

Selah ~ Psalms 62:8 For our heart shall rejoice in Him, Because we have trusted in His holy name. ~ Psalms 33:21 But I have trusted in Your mercy; My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation. ~ Psalms 13:5 ... lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; but exhort one another daily, while it is call "Today," lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. ~ Hebrews 3:12-15 Tears in the absence of His Truths from heaven

Each of us reaches out to hold on to something, which includes both the tangible and intangible. What we seek declares who we are; the dichotomies that divide those good and evil battles from within. For a heart to flourish in the light, one must hear that higher call where birds sing, and the sun rises on all life. To meet that moment, caring for those closest holds more relevance than distant anchors of disgust, which may tend to dismiss and or stumble upon those said closest. Hearts dance to the beat where love cancels hate. Hearts are given to Find the Depths of Being
To appreciate life, it is God who gives life.
... whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him? ~ 1st John 3:16-21 Love's expression finds worth in giving
Free hearts drop guilt for the pursuit of love
... a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, ... ~ Hebrews 4:12-13 God's word opens horizons otherwise unknown
... having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience. ~ Luke 8:11-15 Truth is often dismissed or purposely forgotten
Shallow origins awake hearing the call
All struggle to escape the rocky thorns of living
"The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one." ~ Matthew 13:38 But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. ... ~ James 3:14-18 As weather grows cold, so do hearts

He also taught me, and said to me: "Let your heart retain my words; Keep my commands, and live. ~ Proverbs 4:4 Cognitive powers have no equal

I, the Lord, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, ..." ~ Jeremiah 17:9-10 How quickly the heart disappears from view
As we travel upon the waves of time, each heart hopes for assistance in obtaining joy or sanctuary from the horrors of living. Endurance leads to more as all sails push forward. It is the breath of God that delivers that deepest of laughter when heard for the truth that it is. To remain ignorant of His will only leads to confusion and the corruption that envelops all disloyal destructive hearts. Love has always been the key to set one free. Dark hearts are the Cancer that Devours Love

Those who are of a perverse heart are an abomination to the LORD, But the blameless in their ways are His delight. ~ Proverbs 11:20 Conduct without restraints condemns
Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, Him I will destroy; The one who has a haughty look and a proud heart, Him I will not endure. ~ Psalms 101:5 Wretched ambiance follows the proud
Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty, And before honor is humility. ~ Proverbs 18:12 Soft or harsh hearts declare decency
"But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him." ~ Daniel 5:20 All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; He does according to His will in the army of heaven And among the inhabitants ... ~ Daniel 4:35 Importance is derived in usefulness

... who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts. ... ~ 1st Corinthians 4:5 Justice emancipates truth over all falsehoods
Terror has familiarity across all ages of mankind. Expeditions in living have had diverse battle colors, just now current, and in countless past spectrums. Love and hate too often has pushed passions past civility. Hope has been a genuine call to survival. Comfort sought by the elite has always subjected the meek. Human fish hooks seek freedom from this monster trolling pole. What sinks the unity of a people is acceptance of a liars lies. This is why His word has come to us. Materialism is a test for what truly draws a heart
The heart is a light given by God to shine.

To never know God is as to never live. Awake to God reveals the Greatest in Life
Heaven holds the heart of God for the faithful. Opinion and bias guide each sinking or lifting moment in all civilizations, where inevitably they fail to remember past stumbling's, and revert to primordial lusts with little respect for decency. Rebellion holds widespread anger crimes running rampant as the people cry for freedom, in the blindness of countless liars. Noble actors evaporate in the fog. The curtain always falls on those who cannot see the stage. Unfortunately, humanity has the infectious disease of careless forgetfulness, especially when societies want to set aside and or blame the tyranny they believe oppresses them. Crucibles of hate tarnish the edges as we try to climb out of mediocrity. As God fades from our memories, we have no excuse when we lose ourselves to the idols of our creation. Without sensibility, unity is only a dream, and where all seeking quests have ridden for ongoing eons. People can only find when they come to know. Ignorance has little foundation, and more often eases into corruption. God gave us the tools to gain the best outcome, if our choices are wise enough, and our hearts are lovingly patient enough, to stand for His truths of character; then our children may well in fact survive to meet another day. Godless, heartless societies have no chance of survival. Darkness is the loneliness of a cold heart. |
