the human heart
Stretch the capacity of the human heart…All too often we close our hearts to things that stretch us. That cause us to trust and give up control of a situation. I am convinced though that trust, and rest go hand in hand. In order to truly live we have to learn both- we cannot have one without the other. Trust means giving up control. It means we have to have faith that the outcome is what it is meant to be. We cannot manipulate or change it; we just need to be present- in the now. We have to live, truly live without fear. When we finally release the control- we find peace!Sometimes we can’t see what is right in front of us. We strive or even stall out because what we think what we need is not what we have. Our perspective needs to change. Sometimes it is the quiet presence of something or someone that is a gift we have not recognized. A good job. A comfortable home. A friend always ready to listen.To achieve trust, we have to stretch. It is like a muscle. If we do not work it, we lose it. It is uncomfortable but it is necessary to be truly happy and healthy.
