As I look around the house I see glimmer on the tree. Closer I notice it's our new ornament for this year. A sliver sparkly heart. I searched the store for just the right one, meaningful for our year. Would I be able to capture our year in one single ornament? My eyes scanned the rows of shimmer and color. I reached the end and looked up to see this heart dangle above me as if to say, here I am search no more.
And so it sits hung on our tree and I'm forced to reflect of what was behind and what's before me. Literally my husband's heart comes to mind. When you are closely bound to another their experiences intertwines with yours at times. And you feel changed and new too. And then I'm struck of a deeper reflection one I know was the purpose of the glimmer from the start. The heart it's mine and ours. He has hunkered down there, stretched and said I'm here to stay. He tells me I will never leave you but instead I will lead you. I'm washed with peace and joy.
A brief flash of statement, you’re too into Jesus. And I think is there any other way? He is Redeemer, Savior, Grace, and Wonderful Counselor. He is why we landed face up. I'd rather be too into Jesus than to live life lukewarm. Deny His love, no way.
He's made His impression in our hearts and claimed them as His own. There's no turning back. Life going forward, I'm free to me and healed beyond belief. A Jesus freak if you will. Closer. I smile to myself because life is good.
