What makes a heart valuable? Everyone knows that a heart is made of veins and ventricles that pump blood, the most vital thing, to the entire body. But is that the only thing that makes the heart important. The heart is not only the central part of the human body, but also the human soul. What a person is, thinks, believes, holds to as truth, and who they are becoming is surrounded by the heart. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks [Luke 6:45]; what goes on in your subconscious thinking while using your heart will come out whether you know it or not. There are many different kinds of hearts, but who is to say which is which. These are from my observations:
Heart made of paper: A heart that is sooo thin and easily used that this person probably does not know how to defend themselves or want to. Also, a heart that so easily goes up in flames and may aid in making the flames itself.
Heart of stone: a heart that is hard and will not let anything through, not even thing that are needed such as water. Also because the heart is hard, the mind usually is as well. Information is hard to get across to them and they never want to change their ways.
Heart of wood: Wood is usually used in starting a fire and so is a person with a wooden heart. Although wood allows water to pass through it and allows the water to soak it up; often times it floats on the water. After the water dries out of the wood the flames are the next thing to fully indulge it and cause it to buuuurn. This means that a heart of wood could either be used for good or bad, it is up to the person to decide what it will be used for.
Heart of silver: Just like any other metal silver is as strong and hard. But unlike precious metals, silver tarnishes. A heart made of silver is strong and looks good in the beginning but over time the thing that was once beautiful and held so much value is now ugly and almost worthless. But also like tarnished silver, the thing that has become ugly can be restored and look as beautiful as before. Things are never as they seem, you just have to be careful
Heart of gold: gold is the longest lasting metal and keeps or gains value over time. Gold is also a pure metal that hold so much value to many in the form of commitment. When one gets married and slips on the rings made of solid gold they are symbolizing that their love is pure and will last as continually as the continuous circle. But like any metal, when put in the test of flames the gold will melt. Yes pure, amazing, beautiful but not completely perfect
Heart of diamond: the highest quality of jewels and beauty. A diamond is a girl’s best friend. Why? Because no matter what the girl [or person] is doing, the diamond will never change. Although a diamond is never pure it is never changing. Diamonds are strong; they are even used on saws to cut through other metals and materials. Diamonds can also withstand fire and actually be refined by it! So fire is actually better for the diamond. Through the pain and trials, the diamond is still as beautiful as before.
Sure, there are hearts that have a mixture of these materials and the real question is not only what heart are you, but what heart are you striving for?
