oh heart, rest

have you ever heard the phrase/verse you can't trust your heart - the heart is deceitful ect. 

there was a time that this/these phrases alone shut me down. and by shut me down,  i mean, i had so much that i wanted to do, hopes dreams ect. but that phrase ensured that i never would, at least in that season of my life. 

i clutched tightly to that phrase and watched as everyone around me was joyfully living life, meanwhile mine was passing me by and i was desperately trying to understand what the point of living even was if everything in my heart was 'so bad'-

religion is a really ugly thing. thankfully i've been set free from that trap. 

a new heart gifted to us by the one who makes them beat isn't something to be afraid of, it is something to stand in total awe of -

as i began creating again.
writing again. 
i no longer felt afraid of sharing what was on my heart -
of creating what was put there -

my heart finally felt at rest. 
because my heart was fully His. 

and i could let go of all of the outcomes that come from what pours out of it -

oh heart, rest is a 40 day women's devotional journal inviting your heart deeper into the rest offered to you -

if you are tired of pouring over self-help books and all the like, if you are tired in general, i invite you to spend 40 days doing the opposite of trying harder -

this is 40 days of going to Him - the one holding out a hand and inviting you in -

40 days of receiving from his presence -

40 days of intimacy with the Lord - 

40 days of oh heart, rest

i think something surely will be found there - in that rest. 

with love, ah
