Heart Over Mind

     "I've let my brain run my life when really it should have been my heart running it because I always come back to the heart felt feelings for people and things. God lives in our hearts not our mind."-Saying By Me
     This is something that I have been thinking about but it is not a every time thing because, as humans, we are all broken no matter what we follow or how we follow it. We can only look to and follow God and He can use either one, the heart or the mind. 
     We should be still and take the time to get to know God and trust Him on the path He is taking us on. At the same time, we should be keeping busy for Him so the devil does not get us. Even though, our good deeds might not be know until later in life or after this life, it is good to follow what God wants us to do for Him even if it seems like the little things. Heart over Mind seems like a hard balance and that is where boundaries are good for us as humans. We should ask the questions: Where are you leading me,m Lord?, What do I really need to do?, Who am I really in You?, and other questions like those.
     It is true when we are not keeping our minds busy focusing on God that is when the devil can get the best of us. Our mind really is a battlefield for thoughts and other things. Crazy, how I am learning all of this at the age of 26 because if I look back I have lived me life with my mind instead of my heart. I have been making expectations and assumptions all of my life it seems like of people and the future. That might be why my life is so hard but yet we are sinful humans made out of dust and we aren't perfect. No one is but God and His Love is the only thing prefect in life. It is hard to wrap our minds around but that is what makes it so great. We need to be busy for the Lord so the devil can't get it yet have the time for the Lord. Am what I'm doing now serving the Lord or is it just something to keep me busy? 
     Our brain is such a complex part of our body probably the most complex thing that God made in us. It can do and think so much and do a lot of things at one time. It has so many little pieces and areas that information goes to depending on what kind it is. Maybe that's why God keeps telling us to listen to our heart because that is where He lives and where the Holy Spirit leads us. He gives us our heart's desires. not our brain's desires. It just amazes me how our brain can do all these things without even us knowing it. I've let my brain run my life, when really it should have been my heart running it because it seems like I always come back to the heart of the problem or the heart's true feelings for people and things. When I come back to what my heart is feeling, I'm at peace instead of confusion and trying to make things right with people. 

Something to think about: God made our brains to be complex battlefield but yet our heart is simple. Is it because He tells us to trust Him with all of our heart and soul? Is it because we are not able or suppose to figure out His Love for us but yet we are suppose to do it anyways? Think about it. :)
