The Heart of the Matter is a Matter of the Heart

The battle, dear friend, has always been for the heart.

Not the surface behaviour. Not the polished persona. Not even the picture-perfect responses we muster for the world to see.

Behaviour is merely the fruit — the visible outworking of our heart’s condition. What lies beneath the surface, in the unseen chambers of our being, tells the real story. “The true story of every person is not the story you see, the external story. The true story is the journey of his or her heart.” — John Eldredge & Brent Curtis
