Head to Heart

18 inches is the separation between our head and our heart. Every day we experience a fire hydrant of information that rushes into our brain, but do we actually use the info to change life? do we just let it all splash in our face or does any of it actually affect our heart? Is it just mindless gushing to us?

“Head to Heart” exists to prayerfully prompt all of us to recognize the difference between knowing and being. We’re always talking about wanting people to be authentic and real, but authenticity comes from the heart. What’s the reality of YOUR heart?

Nope. Not About Perfection.

by Kristina McCartney

I’m pretty sure I have an addiction to perfection. I’ve found I have the mindset because I’m a Christian I have to be perfect in everything I do, say, react, think, eat, sleep. Okay, maybe not the last two, but the rest are so true! I carry this burden that I’m required to be perfect in every way. But recognizing this in myself has caused me to seek what’s true.

Let’s look at some dictionary.com definitions:

Perfection- the state or quality of being or becoming perfect; a quality, trait, or feature of the highest degree of excellence.

Perseverance- steady persistence in a course of action, a purpose, a state, etc., especially in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement; continuance in a state of grace to the end.

2 Corinthians 12:12- “The things that mark an apostle—signs, wonders and miracles—were done among you with great perseverance.”

These are an awesome reminder that God isn’t calling us to a flawless life-- He’s calling us to a life of purpose that keeps on keeping on. Don’t mistake this Christian life to be without blemish. Instead, choose a perspective of Opportunity.
