The Fragile Heart

 Over the past couple of days I have come to experience many emotions but in some ways there is some bitter sweetness that sweeps over my heart today. I am  5 days away before I move in as a student one more time. And I can't compare half of the emotions that have been over my heart since this summer. There is joy from the summer but also some sadness from some of the changes taking place in my life. At the same time there is curiosity because I don't know what's next after  December. However, in this time I have learned how fragile the heart can be.
The heart can develop so many emotions and some that you didn't even know you could feel. And if there has been a time in my life I have realized how weak our heart can be at times. At the same time I have found that this is why our hearts must be embraced with the Father's because our flesh will fail. Even David felt this way in Psalm 73:26, " My flesh and my heart may fail but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." I think if any body understood emotions it was David. And knew where to come with all of his emotions. That's a question  I have asked lots on in how to be healthy with our emotions along with knowing God gave us them. However, I believe that answer was given to us just by seeing David's relationship with the Father.
He simply brought them to the King.
However, I don't know about you but sometimes He's the last place I bring them too. And it's quiet funny considering He already knows the battle of our flesh. Isn't amazing though that we have this same knowledge as David or many others before our time but fail to apply ? I know that's what has been hitting me hard this week. At the same time I know sometimes to understand the truth our hearts have to hear it a 1,000 times. I don't know that I can totally wrap my mind around it but what I do know is there will be days that we struggle but we must let it stop us from  being all that we we're called to be. So, even if our hearts fail; there is still Jesus and even when our hearts are strong there is still Jesus!  May this be our peace ~  And when it's not may our hearts be reminded.
