As I pointed out yesterday, God has crafted a pathway for us to follow that leads to satisfaction rather than regret, joy rather than despair, peace rather than chaos. We will find the pathway when we seek His wisdom and guidance. The heart is the soul of man, his moral center, where his deepest beliefs and values lie. When we ask God to “enlarge” our heart, we’re asking Him to build within us a heart that reflects His. If you’re a sunrise watcher, like I am, you’ve likely seen that huge yellow ball peek over the horizon and slowly climb until its full glory is revealed and darkness is vanquished. Seek wisdom. Let God grow it in you, then let it shine so that others might also find their way to Him.
