I would really love to have a broken heart

When you think about a heart what do you think about? Not the broken heart that happens after a failed romance, but the actual heart that beats inside of you. I think of the incredible power that one organ holds. It is the source of life. It is the way we continue to function and thereby live. It is the center of everything we do. We are constantly reminded to remain heart healthy. There are even specific cereals for that kind of thing! The heart really is central to our life.
Isn't it interesting then how much emphasis Heavenly Father gives to us to give Him our whole heart. He asks for the heart, might, mind and soul. He asks for a broken heart and a contrite spirit. He always includes our heart. So what is important about our spiritual heart. The heart is the innermost desires, attitudes, affections, and thoughts. If we are really giving God our hearts then we are giving Him everything! We are giving him our spirit and we are giving Him our life.
When I have read the scriptures recently I have been able to see the power of the heart. Whether it be through people hardening their heart or having a broken one, the power of where our heart lies has been magnified. I am so grateful for the opportunity and choice to give God my heart. How have you been able to give God your heart?
