The Human Heart
If your life and health are going really, really well, you might not think about that organ beating in your chest night and day.🫀 It's a phenomenal thing--electricity courses over and through it and those tiny lightning strikes coordinate the pumping, squeezing, opening, closing, receiving, sending that all happens in the moment we call a "beat." 🫀 The rhythm adjusts to the demands of your moment, speeding up or slowing down to give your body the oxygen it needs just when it needs it. Impeccable timing. 🫀 The chambers, valves, and vessels wrap around one another in this intricate architecture no bigger than your fist, beating, beating, beating. 🫀 But the single most amazing thought I've had about the human heart lately is that there is one in heaven, beating, beating, beating for you and for me.
“But when Christ came as a high priest of the good things . . . he entered once for all into the the holy places, not with the blood of goats and calves, but with his own blood, thus obtaining eternal redemption.” Hebrews 9:11-12
