I am not perfect don’t get me wrong, I am only human I’m not all that strong. I’ve made mistakes, sometimes I cried and Lord knows how hard I have been trying to do what’s right. But I’ve been judged a and criticized.

I am not Catholic, but this symbol of the heart of Jesus was given to me in a dream. So I researched it to see if such a thing existed and sure enough it does. Never could I have ever remembered seeing this symbol or even knowing the meaning. “Why me with all this Catholicism stuff? I thought to myself. First the Rosary and now the sacred heart, what’s next?” Looking into my ancestry I found out Catholicism has been part of my ancestors. According to some belief I just might be a reincarnate, “no pun intended.”

The medal of the heart of thorns was given to me and I must give it to the world (the knowledgeable about it’s meaning). The Cross represents the trials and tribulations Jesus went through for our salvation (the burden of all our sins he took upon himself). The Fire represents the unconsuming burning love for God. The Thorns represents the never-ending torment, pain and sorrow of a broken heart.

The scared heart of Jesus is a reminder to all followers of Christ, his example to love God with all our heart, mind and soul having faith in doing his will, and loving our neighbors as ourselves. Love is the key to all that God has done and continues to do for us. But unlike Jesus we as humans are imperfect so when we’re hurt physically or emotionally, we want to retaliate. We would not have gone to the cross without a fight and without a fight is what is required of us in falling Christ. We must trust God like Jesus in the garden of Gethsamane even though his soul was overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death, he said, ” my Father, if is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will” Matthew 26: 39.

Though trials and tribulations may come our way Jesus died on the cross already (bared our sins, pain and suffering to save us) and he promised to never leave nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5-6), as the Father was with him, so shall he be with us. He sent us the other helper, the comforter, which is the Holy spirit, John 14:16. So let not our heart be trouble, John 14:1

When we love like Jesus our hearts are broken by the ungrateful, traitors and takers of our love. You’ll be repaid evil for your good and yet still love, and be faithful servants of the Lord. “Can you stand? Yes! through your faith and the power of the Holy Spirit that will guide and up lift you.”
