Logic vs. the Heart

Here are a few thoughts I had this morning on living by logic and living by our hearts.



It is not a logical issue, it is an issue of the heart. The heart is mighty. It drives men to climb Everest, conquer with displays of courage, believe the dying will be healed, and fall in love. Logic crumbles when it faces the power of the heart. There is no limit to what a man will do when his heart is involved. He will believe the unbelievable, see the unseeable, trust the unknown. A man will walk blindly if it is his heart that is leading him. Capture the heart, capture the man.


The heart is the greatest conqueror. Logic never made a man take a leap of faith, and it is the leaps of faith that make man truly be alive.


The stories that stir the soul are the ones about men who are filled with courage, who hope against the odds, who hold onto a belief they are willing to die for. Such wonders can only arise from the heart. No one wants to hear a story about a man who lived by logic.
