I previously wrote a post called "Beats by Rey". It was a cheesy title, yes. But lately, I have been considering the preciousness of life as well as the unfathomable value that a beat of a heart costs. It's amazing to believe that at one point in our life, we all begin our heartbeats at a relatively close age. Of course, this all begins prenatally.
When our mothers are in the doctor's office, and the nurse contributes with his or her job and sets up the ultrasound, the heartbeat that is heard then, comes from the exact same heart that we will have for the rest of our lives.
I just want to stop and truly appreciate how beautiful and valuable that truly is.
"For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb"- Psalm 139:13
God has intended for our hearts to beat for every second of our lives, until it is our inevitable destiny to participate in our goodbyes with this temporary body and world. He, who is Great in Himself has created us in His holy image; in which we are made to radiate in His righteous goodness. The all omniscient Lord calls for us to be reminded that we are each a unique masterpiece- specially crafted by His hands. That our time here on this world is most valued by everything that we touch, and everything that we impact.
Our time here, is not to impress. Our lives are held to be so sacred because of the things that we touch, and not by the things that we show ourselves to be.
Along with everyone else, I have gained, and I have lost. I would be lying if I said that I was never persuaded with the temptations of giving away the gift of my heartbeats.
But each day is a whole knew day of growing and learning more about this gift that we, in an undeserving state, have been given. That although our beats are numbered, and as the time of our existence is eventually vanquished; that the beats of our hearts are most certainly not only for ourselves, but for the listening and enjoyment of others as well.
