Today I learnt about Heart Matters, matters of the heart and heart that matters ! Confusing right ? Just before Valentine Day 2015, I get to put rights some wrong understanding of our heart. Heart matters are not for the weak, emotional group. It is vitally important to our well-being and how we live our day to day. In summary, this is what I have learnt about our heart.
Heart Over Mind - We have been raised to use our mind to rationalise our emotions. We were taught to let the mind to control our feelings. We thought the mind is the command center of our body and it gives out commands and all the body members align to those commands. Well, the command center is actually the heart. From the heart, all things happen. That is where it starts.
Heart has emotions - The heart determines our emotions. Emotions are important indicators of our true beliefs. Our true colours or true self is often seen during the extreme trial in our life. The true colour will show forth.

Heart Thinks and intends - Our heart is the inner core of us being, the very essence of living. It feels and thinks and decides how we could react in defense or embrace. It is the very heartbeat of our thought life ! Every content of our thoughts come from the heart.
Heart has memory - when we get hurt emotionally, our heart is broken, our heart grieves and it remembers the hurt. In defending our lives from more hurt, our heart get harden in order to protect it from further hurt. When we keep a record of wrongs others done unto us, it is stored in the heart. Therefore, we should guard our heart carefully. We should do heart detox to examine the conditions of our heart to prevent from further hurts.
God looks at the Heart - Man looks at the outlooks while God looks at the heart. He is after those who have their hearts after Him. Outward appearance can be folly and we have seen amazing make-up that transform people! Looks can be deceiving. But what we are inside stays forever. At the end of life, at the end of a day, when all glamour gone, when there is no more music, what is at the core of our life, what is left is our heart conditions.
Heart purposes and decides - The heart makes the decision. From the heart, we set our purpose, we decide and we act. Often, we think the mind is the one that decide but really it is the heart that first purpose and plot the actions to be taken. It set the course of our path.
Heart could deceive us - Our heart could deceive us. A bad thought entertained by us, long time, it becomes a habit and possibly addiction. From the heart, we already committed offence. Being a moral beings will mean that the heart governs our moral orientation. The heart is the moral compass in our life.
God relates to us heart to heart. It is also heart matters to Him. He grieves in sorrow when we reject Him and choose our own paths. He could see the future suffering we will get ourselves. We get connected to God through our heart. As if our heart has a string and it is a tug between us and God, heart to heart via a heart string.
