I was talking to a person the other day and a wrist band they were wearing started to buzz. She explained that the wrist band was linked to a heart monitor she wore around her chest and it went off whenever her heart rate rose above a certain level.
I was at first very impressed that I would have such an effect on the female species but she then explained that it went up because of stress. I then realized our conversation was having the opposite effect on the woman.
It started me thinking about the effect we have on other people when we are with them. Do we make their heart rate go up for all the wrong reasons.
I find there are three kinds of people that affect my heart rate.
A. Those who annoy me and cause my heart rate to rise for all the wrong reasons.
B. Those who inspire me and cause my heart rate to rise for all the right reasons.
C. Those who bore me and cause my heart rate to fall and put me to sleep.
It helps to monitor your heart rate and make sure you are having sufficient time with people who inspire you and get your heart pumping for all the right reasons.
Too much time with defeated or dejected people will affect your heart and restrict you from achieving all that is in your heart to do for God.
Ultimately the best heart starter I know is to declare the promises of God loud enough for your heart to respond in faith and your heart rate to rise.
Try it and get some faith adrenalin pumping – then go attempt something great for God.
