The Heart

An organ that is so vital to life. We often associate it with love. The reason being I think is because love is essential to life. Everyone wants to feel loved. There are many kinds of love: family, friendship, and relationship love. Love is usually learned as we grow up in families. Our parents teach us what love is and how to show love. Love can be very much a feeling. Its hard to explain where it comes from but, all of us can feel it. The mind doesn't always agree with the heart. Sometimes we are torn between what our minds tell us and our hearts. Sometimes things make logical sense to us but, in our hearts we can tell something is wrong. I have often felt this struggle especially when it comes to making decisions. To make things difficult the Holy Ghost will tell us the truth of all things in both our heart and our minds. The Lord requires that we study things out in our minds and ask him with real intent. I feel like the Holy Ghost can give us answers in a way that is personal to us but, it often comes to me as a feeling in my heart. I struggle to understand what my heart tells me sometimes because it doesn't make logical sense. I'm a person that does things when they make logical sense but, also feel right. Often this results in a stand still because I don't know what to do because my heart tells me one thing and my mind says another. There are many questions that won't be answered because the Lord trusts us to make these decisions. I know that He will help guide me but, I can't help but feel lost sometimes.
