Do you know how a heart gets its beat? Like all the best pairs God creates them as a team; creates the beat and heart so that they compliment each other perfectly. But the final union of the two is hard to come by, for many hearts and beats never find each other...
In the mysterious way of wisdom that the Lord has He does not bond the heart and beat at their creation. He lets them wander if they will ( which they always do) and to seek the existence that they desire. They may wander for ages, they may wander for days, months or years. Some will never find what they most desire, some will never realize that what they want is right beside them. But some will find each other, pulled by the love of unity that the Father has instilled in them.
The heart, once it comes into its full existence and knowledge of its desire, sits in the chest of its host growing in size and complexity. Being mostly of the material world it can do nothing but grow in the hope that it will find that beat that compliments it perfectly, and that then it may expel the forcefulness of that beat out into the world around it with the life-giving tones of perfect harmony.
The beat, being almost completely of the soul's world, moves about in that place beyond and yet about us, testing the world for a place to dwell, a place to make a home and thrive in. A place to give birth to the cantering dance within it.
The as the heart nears the time of decision it strains in the chest, listening for the rhythm of its beat... waiting... yearning...
and the beat too strives to find its heart... crying out for it heart... louder... louder...
until that moment, that moment where they touch ever so lightly through the knit of time, space and soul... exploring the being of the other, hoping for hope's sake that this is the one that they have been made for...
All Heaven holds its breath... until that moment of eternity where the Father smiles, the Son cries and the Spirit joins them in Joy!
Thump-Thump! Thump-Thump! Thump-Thump!
Whole at last, never to be parted, as they make the music of life.
