Physiologists tell us the sound of a heart beating fast can evoke feeling of fear. In fact is often used in scary movies because
it subconsciously tells us to get ready to fight or flight and so the
intensity of the scary experienced is magnified. Conversely one of the most comforting sounds we human beings can hear is the bump bump of a heart beating at resting rate - did you know that? Think about what it takes for us to hear a persons heart. Well... we need quiet stillness, we need to position ourselves to hear; placing ourselves vulnerably with our head against their chest. This position speaks of intimacy and closeness. It demonstrates trust between two people having an exclusivity about it.
We're getting ready at our church for our annual women's conference 'Ellevate' (see link below if you 'd like to come I'd love to meet you). God placed on my heart that He has much to say, much to whisper in that quiet palce, much to say through the hugs and laughter which will be found in this day. If you need refreshing, time out and a good laugh - climb up here with me on our Father's lap and listen to Heaven's heartbeat. It's a wonderful place to be !

I love this. It makes me think of a baby in the womb listening to Mummy's heartbeat. Home is where we can hear the heartbeat of our heavenly Daddy indeed.
