The Rhythm of My Heart
This day I was blessed to wake up to a beautiful morning and had the additional blessing of hearing words of love from one of my precious granddaughters. Is there anything more precious or more powerful than the tender and sweet love of an innocent child? Children are born into this world sweet, innocent and pure. They are pure light and there is no darkness within them. Their heart beats in harmony and in perfect rhythm with the heart of their mother and with the heart of their maker. I have lost innocence in my heart as I have made mistakes and wrong choices in my life, but by the power of the Lord Jesus I can be returned unto a place where my heart is pure, innocent and acceptable before him. As I grow older I seek to be innocent, innocent of anger, innocent of hatred, innocent of envy and jealousy, innocent of prejudice and of judging others. I desire my heart to be in rhythm with the heart of the Lord. I seek that my first response always be rooted in love and gentleness for often our hearts are revealed by our initial response, our first thoughts, words or actions. Lord, I desire to walk before you this day with my heart united with yours. Let the rhythm of my heart be forever in harmony with your will and your desire for me dear Lord.
The Rhythm of My Heart
Softly I must speak, rooted in peace and gentleness must my words be,
Words matter but more than the word the melody must be in perfect harmony.
In harmony with the spirit of God, in harmony with the great love of heaven,
Harsh and unkind words easily flow from so many, let it not be with me.
There is a rhythm of love that should give sweet melody unto our words,
Words should be soft and gentle and rooted in the great love of our God.
If I speak unkind words my life is not in perfect harmony with God,
If there is harshness, then I break the perfect rhythm found in love.
Do not judge others quickly and seek to find the good in all, but truly listen,
Listen to their hearts for the rhythm of their heart will reveal itself.
Children and animals see as men and women often do not, what do they see?
Why do some dogs growl at a smiling face and refuse a hand extended?
Children see with their hearts as animals sense with the instinct within,
There is a rhythm to every heart, so listen to the beat and seek the harmony.
Love that is truly rooted deep within will flow forth; find the rhythm of the heart,
Be at peace, speak words of love and let the rhythm of your heart be gentle.
Lord create a clean heart in me and let my thoughts be in unity with you,
Let my heart beat in rhythm with your heart, make me pure and clean.
Let my words be pure and always kind, give me the rhythm of your heart,
The heart of the Lord is pure and just, may my heart be in rhythm O Lord.
