Heart talk

Proverbs 11:3; 3:5; 17:3-6; Psm141:3-5

All of us, male and female, long for heart talk. Just look around at all the ways we try to connect today. We all want to interact in such a way as to be known by another. We want to be heard and understood. We search for someone somewhere who will truly connect to us. It's as if we believe that a soul mate is out there somewhere and we need to find them.

I am not sure I believe in soul mates. I am not even sure that it is wise. But I do know we were created to interact and connect. Yet, as many times as we reach out for and search out connections we are disappointed and often unsatisfied. That is because we are looking for a connection that only God can fill. We need to connect to Him first for He is the only true soul mate.

The longing in us to connect on a heart level is there because God wants to connect to us on a heart level. It is a hunger placed in us by Him so we will seek Him out and it is not to be satisfied by anything or anyone else. That is why most relationships fall short, even friendships. However, once that need is filled by a personal relationship with God (Found in my book Teach Me Lord under lesson 1) then all the other connections we make have deeper meaning.

God reaches out to us all the time. He speaks to us all the time. Heart talk is on His lips all the time. In the verses above, He talks about integrity and how it guides us. How He tests the heart, how we are to trust in His heart. He asks us to acknowledge Him and let Him guide us. He warns us to not let our hearts be drawn to the world and people of the world. He basically draws us to Himself throughout scripture. He wants us to receive Him as Lord, Savior...God; so we can experience Him, know Him and be known by Him. That is a soul mate.

He is the answer to heart talk because He wants us to connect to Him on that level. He is the soul mate. He is the connection. When we lean on Him, go to Him, let Him fill our heart we will know Him and be known. We will have the relationship we seek.

When the bank wants their tellers to recognize a counterfeit they have them study and handle real money. They do not show them counterfeit money. Then when a teller experiences counterfeit money they immediately recognize the fake. God is the real heart connection, the only soul mate, the only one who knows heart talk. So allow yourself to experience Him through worship, prayer and scripture. Be still and let His heart connect to yours. (Teach Me Lord lesson 2) Then when you connect to people you will recognize the real thing.

God wants us for soul mates. He wants to make a heart connection to us. He wants heart talk. Why would we want to settle for anything less.
