Head Vs Heart

I've a lot on my mind these few days, no doubt because of the inner healing seminar I went to last week. I learnt that as we go through life, we suffer hurts, setbacks and disappointments, besides the happiness, of course. And we keep those feelings with us, both the happy and the sad. The sad ones we will put into the dark store room in our hearts, hoping that we never have to open the door (except only to store more hurts). But you see, by putting them in the store room, they are still with us and they do affect us, even though subconsciously. Jesus doesn't want us to be bog down any longer with all these rubbish (I always believe, keep something long enough and it becomes rubbish) because believe you me, they are rubbish to be thrown away. The longer you keep them, the harder it is to throw them.

And over the years, you become loaded with all the rubbish you can't really focus on where you're going. It's funny why we don't bring all our hurts to Jesus, instead, we store them in the store room. Why ah? It's not like we don't know that he's there for us. The pastor mentioned in last week's sermon that the longest journey in this world is the one from the head to the heart. We know why Jesus came to this earth, to save us. That knowledge is in our heads. But sometimes it's not in our hearts, and that's where it is important. Many people know about Jesus what (head knowledge) but not many choose to accept him (heart knowledge).

If you know Jesus in your head, may I encourage you to know him in your heart too, cos that's where it's most important. May God give you the courage to journey together with him.
