Give My Heart Away

I’m afraid to give my heart away. I’m not talking about giving my heart away to God, as I have made a decision to do that daily. But what if I give my heart away to something that is wrong or that doesn’t deserve my heart? I’m afraid of the commitment when it comes to the consequences of possibly engaging in the wrong commitment. And so I avoid it all together. But the truth is that if God has given me the passions and desires that I possess, then I should fully give away my heart to all of these things, not being required to choose one over the other. I can relentlessly pursue my calling. I don’t have to moderate how much of my heart I’m able, or willing, to give away. That’s what’s different about the heart of God. God has fully given away His heart and His presence and His grace to everyone; not one is lacking or given a smaller portion. The same with my heart. I can fully give away my heart to all of the things that God has called me to, without fear of losing myself or my love.

I am loved, and therefore I am fearless.
