Rhythm

 

I heard this from a guy today.

We start out life experiencing rhythm.

The first thing we feel is our own heart beat, and the first thing we hear is our mother's heart beat.

Our bodies function to a rhythm. 

Our music has a rhythm.

This guy said that sometime in our life, if we are Christians, we start to hear God's rhythm, His heart beat.

I sense His heart beat in church sometimes, sometimes not.

I hear His heart beat when i hear stories of people giving up everything they have for something or someone they love. 

I feel His heart beat when someone hugs me. 

I see it when i see something so beautiful it literally takes my breath away. 

I sense His heart beat when i create something. I see it in relationships- mother-daughter, father-daughter, marriage, friendships.

 

I love to feel God's heart beat. I crave it. I long for it so much that i want it for myself. I want to have His heart beat. I don't always understand why. It isn't the most logical thing. I look pretty dumb to most people i'm starting to notice. But there's something inside me i can't control anymore. I want what God wants and i don't even know what it looks like yet. I just know that i'm headed there.

I've heard this phenomena called "passion". Maybe that's what i have. It seems too lofty for me. It sounds like it requires unfailing commitment and responsibility. I don't measure up to that yet. I fail a lot. But what i have is something like that i think. It's a scary thing to be honest, but it is equally wonderful.
