The Human Heart

"More torturous than all else is the human heart." What the rich man was looking for in fine garments and sumptuous dining he was meant to find in the beggar on his doorstep. For every person that God puts on our path becomes the way to the fulfillment we seek. Jeremiah warns, "Cursed is the man whose heart turns away from the Lord"--that is, the one who refuses the unexpected ways God makes himself present in our life.
