Helen Keller, who was born without sight or hearing, communicated this; “The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or heard, but must be felt with the heart.” They say when you lose one of your five senses your other senses are heightened to make up for the loss. If that is true, Helen’s heart must have been very sensitive to the beauty and goodness around her.
My heart felt the love of my parents at an early age and that was most beautiful. Then, at age eleven, I felt the love of God described by Jesus in John 3:16 and I accepted Jesus’ sacrifice and began to follow Him as my savior. My heart felt God’s Holy Spirit move into it and He has been guiding me through life all of these years. That has been the very best life has to offer. We have been told to stop and smell the roses, but instead let’s stop and feel the beauty of God’s creation. We have to be careful not to let what we see, hear, touch and even what we taste or smell, distract us from the beautiful feelings of our heart. As I’ve grown older, my heart has become more sensitive.
