The Heart of the Matter

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: February 14, 2025

A Valentine’s Day image to contemplate…

The heart of the matter
is what matters the most.
It’s the essence of what e’er it is.
When you give God your heart,
you are giving Him you.
You are basically saying you’re His!

Yes, the heart of the matter
(when it comes to your faith)
is surrendering all that you are.
By releasing your grip
(and with no strings attached)
you will find God will take you quite far.

On this Valentine’s Day
why not give God your heart
as a way of confessing your love?
When you hold nothing back
and let Him take control,
you’ll discover what He’s thinking of.
