Recently, The Rock Music released a music video for one of our songs — “Here’s My Heart”. The message behind the song is quite simple, but truly life changing. When you get a moment, check it out.
Within the song, there is the prayer that God would take our hearts in their entirety. It may seem simple enough, but we all know how hard it can be to both offer (and allow) God to completely take our hearts. Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, the world around us fights for our affections. Perhaps it’s our job, our money, or glory? Maybe even “good” things, like our family or church can wrestle for our attention and worship?
May I suggest (like the songs says) that the “safest” place for our hearts is within the hands of Jesus. Psalm 32:8 says, “The Lord says, ‘I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.’” For me, a simple illustration of this verse is my guitar.
If I were to place my guitar in the hands of a child, or even an adult who didn’t know its proper function, it could be catastrophic for the instrument. If not catastrophic, at the very least, it would become an instrument that sounded awful or chaotic. However, when played by one who knows how it should be handled, it has the potential to make beautiful, thoughtful melodies. Ones that inspire, encourage, and provoke.
How much more meaningful and powerful is the potential of your very life being driven by the overflow of your heart? In the wrong hands, how chaotic and dangerous could this be? The world, our flesh, and the devil, all fight for ownership.
Now imagine your life (and your heart) within the Master’s hands. What a “song” your life could be.
Isaiah 64:8 says this very thing, “And yet, O Lord, you are our Father. We are the clay, and you are the potter. We all are formed by your hand.” This week, surrender your heart to Him. Who knows more than He does, how beautiful your life could be? After all, He’s the One who made it. In prayer, yield it to Him. He loves you and knows just what to do.
Walking with you,
