Reflections of the heart

Allegorical heart

Allegories are nice.

A girl was deciding on how to let her boyfriend know that his communication was becoming a burden.
She began to pray more than she dwelt on the way it hurt her to not feel comfortable speaking to him as she did with her closest friends.
She prayed for her heart to soften and for the Lord to bring Him into conviction so she wouldn't have to do the hard work of approaching him about it.
You see, she didn't want to risk offending someone she loved so deeply.
Throughout this time of holding back and seeking God she began to notice how her boyfriend was quite intuitive to her needs.
Spiritually he could always be counted on to pray for her and to minister to her through Gods word and stir up a deep love for her savior.
Physically he loved to go on walks, hikes and encouraged her to join him and never once made her feel insecure about her own physical flaws that she herself was quite insecure about.
She began to notice just how perfect those areas seemed to display his heart for her and his comfort with her.
Soon after she began praying consistently he would tell her things that were guarded within his heart.
Sometimes after reaching the peak of a hill on a hike or over smoothies. Sometimes when there was comfortable silence on drives to drop her off...
She began to realize that he had so much going on within himself he couldn't even begin to relay it all in one sitting. He was only himself realizing who he was and what he desired, thought or felt in specific areas. He didn't intentionally desire to make her feel she couldn't share her thoughts. 

He barely knew how to speak his own, let alone dialogue about hers.

She had begun to understand why he was the way he was and grace began to abound more each day that she prayed and sought God to minister to him.

The allegorical end.
