The longest journey that we make in life is from our head to our heart.  Many people do not complete that journey, and some do not even undertake it.  It is one goal to reach the end of the journey, and it is another to remain mostly in our heart during it.

It is from our heart that we let Christ’s love shine through us toward everyone we meet on our journey home.  It’s in our hearts that we meet Jesus; it’s where we love Him, honor Him and let Him take possession of our life.  It is where we are given the grace to place our complete trust in Him and to follow Him wherever He leads us.

He showed us how to live our life by His example while He was on earth.  He showed His unconditional love towards everyone He met, and we are called to follow His example.  As Christians, we are gifted with a beautiful spiritual life, which can help us grow closer to Him every day if we choose.  It doesn’t just come natural – we have to work on the relationship under His guidance.
