A Matter of the Heart

Hello lovelies! How was the weekend? It's so hot in this part of the world o. *fans face* How is it over there? OK, this post happens to be a response to someone who politely asked me; "Please, what is your blog about?" :D

A Matter of the Heart

I love heart matters. I just love anything that is heart-related. Wait, I hope you know heart matters aren't restricted to relationship issues. Good. Just so you know, Heart Rays isn't just about that. Lol.

I like how some theologians refer to the heart. They say it is the mind, emotions and will. There is much more to this definition but these three attributes seem so perfect for me.

Mind

- reasoning and thinking process -

The heart is where you think up ideas. The good, the bad and the ugly ideas. It is the seat of creativity and intelligence. It is the place where true knowledge can be received, conceived, and believed.

So that's why I post articles like; Concepts of New Things, God Loves Akara and I Love You Like Fufu.

Emotions

- moods and feelings -

When you genuinely fall in love with someone, you do that with your heart. Your heart feels the affection. It shows an expression of you when you are happy as well as when you are sad.

So that's why you can find rays such as; happiness, peace, loneliness, love and confidence.

Will

- choices and decisions -

To have a pure, happy, and positive attitude towards life requires your effort. You have to choose the path to follow. Your heart is a place where decisions are made.

So that's why I talk about issues like; the scary choice I made, how to find peace within and how to fall in love with your life.

Ehen, am I writing rubbish? what am I exactly saying? The thing is your life is a matter of the heart. And you need to guard your heart like crazy because it can also be misleading. I didn't frame it up, it's in the Bible. Proverb 4:23 says;
"Guard your heart diligently, for out of it flows the issues of life."

Good thoughts = Good heart = Good life 

Bad thoughts = Bad heart = Bad life

The habitual thoughts of our hearts control how we live. Everything we are and everything we do shines from the heart.

That's how my former boss told me the other day, "Amaka, you have a good heart." I melted! But then I asked myself, Really, how would he know that?

I figured he could tell because my thoughts direct my decisions, my decisions direct my actions, and my actions are what he's seen me do - my everyday living. He could tell from my expressions. (That is the light). You grab? If you can guard the thoughts of your heart, you can be assured of a pure, positive and prosperous life.

Once again, welcome to Heart Rays! The heart of the matter is a matter of the heart. :)

What helps you guard your heart? Or better still, how are you guarding your heart?
