Reflections on Little Gems

“When you open your heart, you open your mind.”
--Pearls of Wisdom, Beth Mende Conne

“But if you seek the Lord your God,
you will find him if you look for him with all your heart.”

--An ancient Hebrew teaching from the Deuteronomist (4:29)

I submit two little gems for your meditation today and throughout the weekend. So many times I find people trying to “figure” out the hows, the whys – all the intellectual questions that tend to come when contemplating the Divine.

The century old insight from the Deuteronomist seems to suggest that the intellectual answers only come when we get the “heart” where it needs to be. So, take the next 72 hours and just open your soul to the deepest truth I know: the Creator loves YOU!
