Return To The Heart
Devotional for Tuesday, August 26, 1997 by Ken Stright
Matthew 6:20 - Store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.Brother Roger, founder of the Taize community, once reflected:
- Every human being yearns to be loved as well as to love. It is not
for nothing that the Gospel alerts us about not becoming locked up in
isolation. When we are listened to, obstacles fall away that were
created by frustrations of the heart, wounds from a recent or distant
past. Being listened to is the beginning of a healing of the soul (and a
return to the heart).
I don't know if you've spent half a lifetime creating a wall around your
heart or if you simply vacated the place altogether, but more and more
in the modern world it is becoming obvious that people are experiencing
alienation from their emotional and spiritual selves, and the result has
been a sickness of the soul that has affected everything from
- personal health
- to family relations
- to community affairs.
Prayer: Your love for us is so amazing and so divine that we turn to you today and offer you our love and our lives in return. Accept our offering today and always. Amen.
