How Important Is Your Heart?

Hey everyone! As some of you know, Hunter is a true baseball fan. We were discussing the majors and then started talking about his future in the little league levels. He was wondering if he was going to stay at the current level or get moved up to play at the next upper level. We discussed it at length and then there was a moment. He had gotten up from the table and as he was walking away he said "oh great, I'm gonna be in the outfield." Amazing. The future star of the major leagues had predicted his future in just a millisecond. We called back little Jeeter to the couch. It was a short story but he forgot that so often your heart and your brain aren't working together like they should be. He was reminded that what ever statement comes from your brain, it then works hard to make that statement come true. So often we want something with our heart and then let our brain make another alternative decision. The result is less than what was wanted from the heart. We have to remember that regardless of how smart our brain is, the true desires of the heart can always outweigh the negative of our brain. We reminded him that if his heart wanted to be in the infield, then his brain had to successfully place him there.
I struggle often when people tell me what their heart is crying out for and then in the same sentence give a negative and less desirable thought from the brain. So amazingly sad that right there almost instantly they made their heart's desires fail, and the brain was now going to work to make that negative statement become reality. It is so hard for some people to remember that unless they allow their heart's dreams so run their brain, they will not achieve that wonderful success. God has made our fantastic bodies and has given out heart so much power. The heart has the only cells that can restart by themselves, can electrically reroute for heart attacks and have the true power to achieve all those things that will bring happiness. All this being said I just wanted to take a moment and remind people to listen to their heart and put the negative self talk out to pasture.
