Heart.

Today I developed a new "viewpoint". Frankly I am tired of how our society looks at outward appearances and judges accordingly, I try very hard not to do this, but I think we are all guilty of it in some form or another. So, this morning while at my favorite coffee shop of all time (where I now LIVE almost everyday b/c of school-check it-http://www.newworldcoffeehouse.com/), I decided to look at each individual person as a simple beating heart, seriously! a physical beating heart-I studied the heart in depth last semester and it was AMAZING-God is BRILLIANT. I know this sounds weird, but it worked, instead of noticing what other people were wearing first or how their hair was fixed or how they were acting, I simply recognized that they had a beating heart, that God allowed them to wake up one more day, that God gave them the gift of today for whatever reason. I love the verse that says "man looks at the outward appearance, but God weighs the heart"(1 Sam 16:7) and the one that says "above all else guard you hearts, for they are the wellspring of life"(Prov 4:23)-awesome. I have to remember that God doesn't see us as others see us, He doesn't see us as WE see us, He sees our hearts, our souls, our spirit, and for those who accept Him-His Spirit literally LIVES in us. I define the Holy Spirit as this-God breathing in you and through you every second of your life as a Christian, He is our GUIDE, He guides our steps, our decisions, everything (if we allow Him). I am currently learning to depend on His Spirit in all of my decisions, throughout my entire day, constant communion w/Him, it's awesome-nothing better. New things will be birthed from me b/c of the work He's doing in me, and God I love that You are FAITHFUL to complete what You've started. AMEN!
