Meditations for the Heart
I don't know about you, but I feel that there is a lot of chaos and suffering taking place all around us. The world is literally falling apart and many people are at a point of desperation. However, even though I accept the realities that affect us as we journey on this earth, I am constantly encouraged by the love that comes forth from the Heart of our Lord Jesus. As one who feels called to encourage and build up those around me, I feel compelled to share some of the meditations that I have with people. After all, if the meditations have helped me deal with the difficulties of life, it follows that they can be instrumental on doing the same for others. Therefore, I invite you to join here regularly in order to listen and meditate with me.
