The heart is the central command center of every human being. We are called to guard our heart for out of it all the issues of life flow – Solomon. We are also told that out of the abundance of our heart the mouth speaks – Jesus. The heart is where dreams come alive, where love is experienced, where pain is felt and where memories are stored. Everyone of us has a heart, many are broken, shattered, beaten down and broken’ others are closed, shut down, and walled off; but there are some that are soft, pliable, open, trusting, believing, and alive. Where is your heart today?

When we live life out of our head it is a defense mechanism so we do not get our heart broken again. The challenge is, intellecual, heady conversations do not penetrate people the way a heart does. A person with a big heart is called generous, passionate and joyful. Much of Christianity has been done from head to head; denomination to denomination; doctrine to doctrine; but Jesus Christ the author and perfector of our faith was a man of heart. He encountered the “heady” Pharisees and Saduccees, but He never stopped operating from His heart no matter who He encountered.

Do you know why blind people got healed, dead people were raised, lepers were cleansed and lame men walked? Because heady people walked right past them, but Jesus the heart God/man saw them, heard them and loved them. Jesus spoke to them from His heart and the heart of His Father and healed them. The heart is a powerful tool to bring healing to hurting, wounded, sick, bruised and battered people. Heads argue while hearts heal. If you meet a hurting/distant/angry person today, don’t go head to head with them, win them with your heart. Proverbs 25:15 says, “A soft tongue will break a bone.” Your heart has power to heal another persons heart, no matter how hard their heart may be.
