EarthTime 6.24.12 Download: A Journey Through the Heart

As I sit down to write this article, I am reminded of Jesus' words in Matthew 11:25, 'I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned you have revealed them to the childlike.' In a world where complexity and sophistication often take center stage, it is refreshing to remember that it is the simple and childlike heart that can truly understand and connect with God.

As I delved deeper into my own spiritual journey, I was struck by Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 13:2, 'If I have the gift of prophecy and, with full knowledge, comprehend all mysteries, if I have faith great enough to move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.' In a world where we often prioritize intellect and achievement over love and compassion, it is humbling to recognize that without a heart filled with love, our accomplishments are ultimately meaningless.

The Spanish philosopher Miguel de Unamuno, in his work 'Del sentimiento trágico de la vida,' poignantly captured the essence of this idea when he wrote that the heart must triumph over the head. It is only through the heart that we can truly know and experience truth.

As I continue on my own journey of self-discovery, I am reminded to approach each day with childlike wonder and humility. I am not writing to impress or to impart wisdom, but rather to share a piece of my heart with others. The following is a collection of musings and reflections that I hope will inspire and encourage you on your own path.

As the Psalmist so beautifully wrote in Psalm 66:3, 'Say to God : How tremendous Your deeds!' May we all come to know and experience the greatness of our Creator through the simplicity and sincerity of our hearts.
