The Healing Nature Of The Heart Is A Beautiful Gift

The Port of Healing and Hope

The heart is a breathtaking vessel of promise whose potential is limitless

     The journey is a unique, creative, and curious wonder.  The depths of its mysterious and complicated meaning cannot be defined by mere words.  It is characterized by unknown, suspense-filled pathways, and moments of challenge and intrigue.  So, how does the journeyman prepare his / her heart for the unknown mission ahead?  Actually, the concept of being fully prepared is not really feasible. But, preparing the heart with the proper tools can make the journeyman more equipped.

     The healing tool box is a package of five tools that can help the heart and spirit to heal, remain upbeat, and retain healing status.  The five tools are:  forgiveness, compassion, positive thoughts, patience (anti anger), and love (laughter).  Forgiveness can be one of the hardest things for the heart to deal with.  It has two categories:  others, and self.  There is one thing to keep in mind here.  Nothing / no one is perfect except God.  So, when hurtful times come, it is important to forgive others, and most especially self.

     It facilitates peace and provides a better environment for the heart to become enriched and grow.  Remember to combine forgiveness with prayer.  The Lord will provide the strength to succeed.  Compassion is the next important tool  The heart that gives kindness and care to others receives blessings manifold in return.  Thinking about others provides peace in the knowledge of making a difference and having a heart like God.

     Positive thoughts are one of the most important tools.  Reflecting upon positive things equips the heart for success and peace in the knowledge that better things are coming.  This is where great faith becomes a durable factor.  The fact that God is in control provides assurance that things will be fine because he always has the best in mind.  Patience (anti anger) is another hard tool for the heart.

     Sometimes one of the hardest things is waiting or taking a step back, (in the essence of humanity), and trying not to lose control.  Again, this is another important tool to combine with prayer.  The Lord can provide the assistance needed to facilitate success.  Remember, all good things come to those who wait, and the best things come from God.  The final tool is love / laughter.  The two seemed to be combined in a way.

     Loving yourself and others is a universal seed of hope that facilitates a heart of peace, happiness, and laughter.  It is another special gift from God's heart to nurture health and healing.  So, yes, the journey is a mysterious and uncertain wonder.  But, when the journeyman is equipped with the healing tool box, and the power of faith and prayer, it's peace and success ahead!

***** The Traveler's Song *****

The traveler sang a healthy tune all along the way
Even though the road seemed quite hard, so long and so winding
He kept a sweet, pleasant thought each and every day
No matter what his long travels looked like or would bring.

Suddenly, a great light began to shine so brightly
and something so sweet and special began to fill the air
He had found the greatest success along his journey
Singing his song of the grace of God that is always there.
