Some of us feel a lot of pain. Though our homes and lawns and automobiles appear to be in order, something is causing our heart to be out of order. Maybe it's a past relationship that broke off long ago and should have been healed long ago, but the pain still lingers. Maybe some dreams were never realized, maybe some financial uncertainties have us awake at night. All of us, in one manner or another, have troubled hearts.
Troubled hearts are a part of life.
We live in an imperfect world, and in an imperfect world, hearts are going to experience all sorts of trouble. One reason some of us may fill our lives with so many activities or go out and buy so many nice things is not because we like to be so busy or like to have new things all the time. Some of us enjoy these things, but some of us fill our lives to keep our mind away from our troubled hearts. But of course forgetting about a troubled heart doesn't heal the heart. A troubled heart cannot be healed until it is acknowledged.
