I Dont have my own heart, Jesus does, I gave it to Him for safe keeping...
Well...the way I view it. (the way I fantasize it in my head) is that I've given it away to Jesus until He sees fit to give it away for me... because if I held my own heart to give away to whomever I please, who knows where it would end up! But He has always known who the person is I should give it to, and that's why I have it to Him: so I wouldn't give it away before I should. ..
this is an excerpt from **'s mind
In a sense yes, but there are many layers of the heart. The deepest parts yes He will always keep, but some are meant to be shared and yes, given away...but in more in a sense of a trading of hearts...
No He doesn't want our porcelain hearts broken, but maybe there's a beauty in Him allowing one to behold another's heart in a way.. .and then it's up to the holder to rely on God to help them care for and cherish it... maybe God wants to see if the holder would be so selfless as to let Him continue holding it... My brain thinks in strange ways sometimes.
you already are that selfless.
And as to the trading, the man is not the only holder of a heart. You should know this.
I believe you can, as long as you continue in your steadfast pursuit of God's heart.
I mean that yes, a woman gives her heart to a man, but doesn't a man also give his heart to the woman? So they are both charged with the responsibility to care for and not break the other's heart. But if they have both given their hearts to God, then He puts them together and it is then not even a creation of human design at all, but completely His. And we have already voiced the desire for someone who wants the other to pursue and love God more than us. That's probably a pretty hard thing to stick to...
We have the potential to do that. Just the fact that we have both voiced--of our own desires--that we want the other to love God more...it's so incredibly rare!
