Undivided Heart

A friend shared an idea she found at Pinterest and I decided to try it. The idea is you draw the outline of a heart, then you fill it in with what occupies it. I got two index cards and gave one to my husband. I told him the idea and then we went off into our own corners to complete our project.

When we met back up, the comparision was neat and fun to do as a couple. I reviewed my heart over and over. It was filled with things like: Learning, teaching, pets, kids, desserts, friends, boat, beaches, and much more. I used every single inch of the heart.

At the center I had drawn another heart and it simply said "God." You see, I believe that if I have a heart for God, it must be an undivided heart. It can not compete with the things I had listed. It must be a heart completely dedicated to serving and loving God.

I sat back and looked at the finished product and I liked it. Today is Valentines Day. Whether you are single or in a relationship, I want to tell you...you are loved. You are loved by the one who gave His life for you. Won't you give Him an undivided heart?

Teach me your way, O Lord, and I will walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name. I will praise you , O Lord my God with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever. For great is your love for me. Psalms 86:11-13
