I once wrote an entry on my blog with regards to the heart issue back in 2007. (Refer to: http://edsoh.blogspot.com/2007/07/its-heart-that-really-matters.html) In that moment in time, I was really targeting my own heart issues with my Heavenly Father. For this entry, my target of attention is falling on everyone of us, including my family and loved ones. Hence, if you are reading this entry thinking if I have found my Proverbs 31 girl, the answer is negative.
Ok, matters of the heart. What’s up with the heart? The reason is very simple. It is because THOU has said that, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Therefore, I have to indeed make sure that my heart is always with Jesus so that I can boldly proclaim to everyone around me that my greatest treasure in this life is I have a relationship with Jesus.
These days I am telling Jesus that I love Him in my prayers. No longer am I only praying for things to my own benefit but I feel that I should really express my love for Him. It’s like telling your girlfriend how pretty she is, how beautiful is her latest hairdo, her perfume smell and many things about her. I am beginning to sense that He needs my attention and my expression of love towards Him for His inexhaustible Grace towards me daily and of how He is constantly watching over me.
Rom 8:32 is a magnificent verse. Mediating on that verse has made me realize that He is the one in control of my love life. If it is truly according to His will that I will stay on being single all my life, I have to give thanks to Him because He is the ONE who knows what is good for me. All I need to do is to surrender my will to Him. It is at this very moment that I am sinning against Him if I stay on being infatuated with a non-Christian girl. I truly need to wake up from this infatuation. As I looked back, if I really desire to go into a relationship, I would have courted the girl whom I met then back during my poly days and today I think she won’t be engaged to be married to another guy in Feb 2009. I guess that at least I have the capability to fight for the beauty whom I desire. However, I became a Christian along the way and knowing the importance of NOT going into an unequally yoked relationship, I gave up pursuing her totally.

Sorry, found that I side-tracked as I was mentioning on focusing my heart on Jesus. Throughout close to seven years of my Christian life, I observed that for those who have set their hearts on searching for the ONE TRUE GOD, they always managed to find Jesus. I am not sure how did Jesus do it but true enough, it has happened many times as I journey with Him all these years. Brother Yun from China is a great example. He even published a book on his salvation story and how he ministered to many people around him.
In conclusion, I encourage all those of you out there to pursue the true meaning of your life, asking what is that one thing which motivates you to go to work everyday, what is that very thing which is missing in your life and so on so forth. Go out and search for the answers. Ask your own heart sincerely if you are really interested to discover if there is really a God in this world. If you are, I am pretty sure that you will find Jesus. This is because He has provided us with His Wonderful Counselor whom has been knocking at the door of your heart all this while, waiting just for you to open it and coming in to have meals with you (Rev 3:20). Are you ready to meet Him? If you are, I am sure that we will spend eternity together with Him! Cheers…

Oddly, God still works in mysterious ways. I just shared Rev3:20 to the old old Christian in the office for devotion right this very morning even though I'm at the other side of the globe. Happy dinning with our Lord Bro.

Oh yes, He often does... and that's why I said that I don't know how Jesus did it. :)
