As I was thinking about what to write in this blog tonight, I suddenly became keenly aware of my own heartbeat. It was distracting for while, but then I realized that my heart is beating because God wills it to. I can worry about the health of my parents and myself, but God has created each of us and knows our bodies perfectly. He is in each breath, each action, each thought. Our hearts are unique in that not only are they a physical part of our body, but we talk of our heart as the emotional point of ourselves. When we fall in love, our hearts belong to that person. When we are hurt by someone, we suffer heartache. When we want to have a closer relationship with God, we ask Him to come into our heart. I have several different pictures of Jesus, but those that intrigue me and have the most meaning to me are those depicting His Sacred Heart. To me they are very intense as they depict the immense love Jesus has for us – his beloved people.

I Found God today in my own beating heart.
