The human heart is the sanctum sanctorum or the innermost part of our bodies, the living temple of God. The more we yield our heart to Him, the more He increases our yield.
Scripture says that He always inclines His ear to hear our prayers and even the whisper of our hearts. He will never neglect us or ignore our prayers. We pour out our love, adoration, thanksgiving always from our hearts to the Lord. We derive strength, comfort, guidance and wisdom from Him. We should humble ourselves to acknowledge that we depend on Him and Him alone. Our hearts should not be hardened but always soft as liquid before the Lord. It is also the spring of the fruit of the spirit- of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness and humility. The heart is the repository of faith, hope and love. We trust Him for our protection, provision, promotion. Our confidence is not the arm of flesh or the weapon it wields. The way the Lord has fashioned our hearts, we have the Hobson’s choice of either trust Him or rust. The Lord sees if we trust Him with all of our heart at all times, not just when things are hunky dory or good but when things are sliding down. Prayer is a heart to heart conversation with God. It is our inmost being as distinguished from our superficial selves which others see on the outside. Our heart is where our true feelings and desires lie. If we surrender our heart or the core or center of our being to Him, all the other spokes of life will connect from start to finish to Him. The implication is that the only thing the Lord is deeply interested in on earth or in our lives is our heart.
If we look at the word heart, it is the only word that can be formed from “earth”. Trust (confidently) in Him at all times, O people Pour out your heart before Him, God is a refuge for us.
