“All the dragons in our lives are perhaps princesses expecting us to be handsome and brave.
All the terrifying things are perhaps nothing but helpless things waiting for us to help them”
The heart can be a treasure-trove of secret ambition, dreams, goals, and desire. I've learned something about myself recently, I've learned that I have not fully worked this muscle, I've not fully stretched or even attempted to push it to it's capacity and beyond. In fact I've given way to my brain, relying solely on process, relying on only the things that make sense. However, the matters of the heart often stray from what makes sense, it diverts it's way from reason by its very nature. The things that cause my heart to beat full and true are things that I've kept down, kept dormant, kept hidden.
God does not call us to occupy a space governed only by what makes sense! In fact, he sent his son to the earth in a way that went against how we know a baby can enter this world. In the same way, God gives space for the heart to dream and create things that doesn't make sense to those around us and can anger some but has the potential to be life/world changing!
The capacity of the human heart is wide. It can love wide and deep. It can also be a catalyst to drive you, to move you forward if you let it. Dig up those put away dreams. Set free the frightening things that you've abandoned. Be brave. Dear heart, be brave!
