In order to go on any journey you need three important tools:
1. A destination
2. A map
3. A compass
The destination is unveiled in the title of the book—our goal is to find the center of the heart. That simply means searching for that thing that God designed for you to accomplish while you carry out your life on earth.
On the journey to find the center of your heart, your map is the word of God. The Word tells us if we delight in God that He will give us the desires of our heart.
I once thought that if I gave my heart to God that He would have me go somewhere I did not want to go, and do something that I did not want to do. I found out that following God’s plan for my life led precisely to the opposite of what I expected.
As a matter of fact, I could not even find my heart’s desire until I gave my heart to Him. The reason is that God put those desires deep down into my heart and only He could help me find and follow those desires.
Finally, on the journey to find the center of the heart you need a guide or compass—and I found out that is the role of the Holy Spirit of God. The presence of God in Spirit who would lead, guide and direct me even when my life got off track due to my bad decisions.
An important part of the map for this journey is found in Psalms 37:1-7. Four significant trail markers are in this passage.
Journey To The Center Of The Heart Description:
Journey to the Center of the Heart is the story of a journey from hell to paradise–and an example of how God is in the business of giving people second chances. From the “Tomb of the Sleeper” through “Daring Dive Rock” and finally to “Keeping Heart Cove,” you’ll find encouragement and hope as you travel with John.
