We've been reading about King David in our Bible study this week. We talked about him today and the thing that really jumped out at me was the fact that God called him a man after his own heart. I started thinking about what that would mean for me if God called me a woman after his own heart. I decided that I want my heart to be intertwined with God's. I want our hearts to be so meshed that people can't tell us apart. So I made a vow to God. I promised him that I would throw off the things of this world that try to wrap their way around my heart. I asked him to show me the things that bring him joy so they can bring me joy as well. I asked him to break my heart for what breaks his. I asked him to make me passionate about the things he's passionate about. I made a solemn oath to give him everything I am and all that I have.
I decided that I needed a daily visual reminder of my promise. I needed something that I could glance at and remember my oath. Since I'm constantly looking at my hands, I decided a ring would be the best thing. God took me to the perfect store and showed me the perfect ring (in the perfect price range, might I add- ha, ha). It's a simple sterling silver band and it looks like a single strand of rope, folded over and each end is hooked together. It's impossible to tell how it would come unhooked because each end is hooked to the other. This is a poor description but the point is that it would be impossible to unhook these loops. That's how I want my heart to be with God's.
