Hearts and homes

All our hearts have space in them. There's space to accommodate people. Some have huge hearts, some have hearts as tiny as a mouse hole.

Our hearts were created for many, many, things; and I seriously believe that one of the reasons is to house others. We were all built with a huge capacity for relationships. We were wired with a need for each other, to love and be loved. We were created to connect with each other, to have a relationship with each other. Our hearts were built to house each other and care for each other. God's bigger picture included that we be sisters and brothers, each other's keepers.

Hence the space in our hearts. God put space in our hearts to enable us connect to each other. He gave us space to home others. And we are all to use the space wisely, making use of every available inch. We are to make the place hospitable and allow others to make home, and also home ourselves in others' hearts.

As earlier stated, others use most of the space, creating huge mansions out of them. They make them warm and comfortable, and welcome all who are in need. Their hearts welcome all, and all who make their way there feel at home. Such people are richly rewarded, as their hearts are never cold. They get warmth from others, and others give them warmth. Their lives are full and happy.

Then there are those whose hearts are so tiny, creating space for only themselves. They don't take time for anyone, they don't even care much about anyone. All they care about is themselves, their money, their this, their that... They build empires around them and allow nobody to share in their good stuff. Such people come to utter ruin in the end. Their lives are sad and cold. They live lackluster lives. Many of them fall to utter regret when all is said and done.

So take time to make your heart a home, create a relationship.
