It means washing your earthly worries away, day after day, and trusting in Him to guide you. Giving your heart to God means a new life, a new purpose, a new sense of self. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is-His good, pleasing and perfect will.” “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. You learn that in the end, when you pass to the next life, what matters is who you were, not your status on this earth. You start to see the value in your personality, in your impact, in the way you love and connect with others, rather than the things you own or the money you make. When you give your heart to God, you begin to value relationships that build you, rather than break you. He knows that our true value rests in where we go after this life, and He longs for us to see the worth of our souls rather than our temporary bodies. He knows that the material things of this world mean nothing. We begin to see our things and possessions as a measure of our worth. We fall into habits and patterns with people. We get entangled into romantic relationships. Sometimes we get wrapped up in the world. “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” You begin to put value into the right places and people. And when you trust Him to take control, to love and direct you, you find strength not only in Him, but in yourself. When you stop relying on yourself or other imperfect people to guide your heart and decisions, you realize He has been paving your path all this time. He promises to protect you, but to also strengthen you in His word, every single day. “My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” You are protected and loved, unconditionally, by your Savior. You realize that you have been putting your trust into the wrong things or people, and instead of feeling dizzy, trying so desperately to understand the world, or confused, wondering which direction to take, you find calm and peace. You know that your heart is in a safe place, and you find comfort knowing your God will never break or leave it. You slow down, you begin to trust, you let the little things roll off your back. When you give your heart to God, you stop worrying about all that you can’t control. “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
