The Heart

In a few words, I would describe my day as extremely long. I felt as if it was never going to end. Last night, I was able to have a long conversation with someone. Although there were things in the conversation that made me feel uncomfortable, I realize that they were things that I needed to hear. I am not even sure if this person knew that this was something that I needed to hear. As I went through my day today, I realized that there were so many times where I had means thoughts about someone else, or my intentions were not the greatest. I began to become annoyed with myself, because I couldn't stand that I was doing these things. One thing that I wanted to examine was the state of my heart. I wasn't ready to accept that I had allowed my heart to harden to certain things. I was so set on blaming other people and the things around me rather than blaming myself. I came upon Jeremiah 17:9 tonight, which not only verified my thoughts, but also spoke truth into my life. So, basically, rather than acting or thinking based off of the things that I feel, I know that I have a God that I can turn to. I know that my heart and my feelings are not going to be the most accurate or pure reasons.
