It is easy to think about our hearts when feeling short winded or trying to catch our breath. According to the Mayo Clinic, a normal resting heart rate is approximately 60 to 100 beats per minute. When postured in a resting position we often do not think about our hearts and how vital it is to the entire body. But even when we are sleeping our physical hearts are ensuring that the body heals as its organs are kept functioning. The heart is also the primary agent wherein the spiritual essence of who we are resides and from it flows our thoughts, behaviors, and speech. Thus, the heart is the catalyst that cradles the human spirit, making it the main reason why God seeks a relationship with the heart of mankind. The Lord's desire is to write His covenants on the tablets of our hearts and to create a hunger for godliness in our spirits. These short devotionals are designed to challenge our spirits to focus on the heart of God as He longs for the heart of man. In this hectic world, they are a brief pause of meditation and reflection to examine how God's heart responds in real time situations. May your spirit be renewed to a deepening awareness of the attributes of God as He reminds us that it is what's between our arms that matters most. You may have tattooed your arm, hand, leg, or neck. But I pray that this book will challenge you to allow God to inscribe, to tattoo, on a place where no one can see, yet all the world will view.
