Message from the Heart

7/15/11 The report spread out on my bed is gibberish to me but the scrawled info at the bottom of the page indicates no cause for concern with my heart. Meds seem to be working. (Except I think they make me feel loopy.) But things are not always as they seem, especially in matters of the heart. Just a few months ago I looked the same on the outside but on the inside my heart/brain connections (via the carotid) were a little off kilter.
We can't always tell one's inward condition by outward appearance. But God....."God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” (1 Samuel 16:7)
Tomorrow I hope the heart of the Lord will show through me as I venture, somewhat fearfully, out of my comfort zone. I hope His love and mercy will be read loud and clear as I stumble in an unfamiliar realm with little ability and strength. I'm counting on Him.
For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is loyal to Him. (2 Chronicles 16:9)
