{The Healing Heart} It's Who You Are

{The Healing Heart} It's Who You Are

Modern science puts all its weight behind the brain as the source of personhood. But their concept is quite inadequate.

In reality, one's heart is the source of personhood, of who you are. Your behaviors come from what's in your heart, because that's where your emotions reside, especially when untended (such as fear, anxiety, worry, doubt, dread, panic, distrust, suspicion, unforgiveness, resentment, jealousy, envy, greed, gluttony, coveting, lusting (for whatever), guilt, shame, unresolved grief,....etc. )

Untended emotions become thorns, and some -- like resentment and fear -- can become rooted deeply, and then fester & rot (i.e., become bitter, acrid and rotten). Such bitterness can affect, even poison, many around you.

A healthy person knows what's in their hearts and deals with it as much as they can. It's called self honesty. And when overwhelmed with those emotions, they talk to someone trusted about it all. When one deals with the 'thoughts of the heart' there is freedom. And peace.

And peace is what we all crave, isn't it?

When we manage our hearts, we make wiser decisions for we won't be driven by those stuffed emotions, such as hurt or panic, but instead by clear thinking.

It's up to us to be good stewards of our bodies: heart, soul, mind and body. And to leave a legacy for our loved ones (family, friends, etc.) of living in heart, instead of
neglect.

Today I will admit my fears, resentments, etc., and seek to resolve them as I can or with a trusted person, so that I can live in freedom, and peace.
