If you can get this, this will change your life… I was out
taking my morning run. I love how still it is when I’m running. I can hear
clearly and really commune with God. I wanted to share this with you. It’s a
lesson I had to learn.
One of the keys to
success is to be able to guard your heart. Now, usually when someone says guard
your heart they are talking about keeping yourself from heartbreak. Although
that is important (as long as you don’t go overboard... but that’s another conversation)
that isn’t what I’m talking about. When we are born into this world we enter
with such a pure heart but as we grow older situations, circumstances and
people tend to make us change. Now I know it is nearly impossible to keep a
childlike innocence in our hearts all of our lives, especially after people
have betrayed, lied, mistreated and downright been the devil. Trust me when I
tell you, I have seen it all. I have been there big time. If you’re like me
you’ve been there too. But if this is your situation I want you to know two
very important things about those moments of heartbreak. Number one, learn the
lesson in it. See how it will work together for your good, because it will.
Once you do, it’s easier to forgive and move on. Secondly, and this is just as
important as the first one, you must not let that person or people change your
heart. What do I mean by that? Well, if you are a giver and someone you have
given to misuses your gift, don’t stop giving… just give to someone else. If
you are a person that loves people and someone you love hates you, don’t stop
loving… love someone else. Eventually, you will find people who appreciate your
kindness and your love. Remember this, lots of people have been conditioned to
not be able to accept purity of heart. They can’t take it in. Most times it’s
not even their fault. It’s just what has happened to them on their journey in
life. But don’t let them turn you into one of them. There will be a lot of
people in your life who will not appreciate your pureness of heart. If they
hurt you don’t stop being you… just be you with someone else.
Why is this so
important? Because God blesses you according to what is in your heart. If you
are being kind, giving, loving and sharing because it is in your heart and you
are not looking for anything in return, then that is a heart that God wants to
bless. If you change who you are because you’ve been hurt, then you’ve changed
the thing that God wants to bless you according to, and that is your heart. The
people who hurt you are not worth that. You can lose everything that you have,
but don’t let anybody change your heart.
