Rumi’s quote, “Your heart knows the way. Run in that direction,” resonates deeply with me.
First, I think about how my heart—or more truly, my soul—often knows where I need to be long before my mind catches up. When I allow God to lead, the path becomes clearer. Yet, in worldly terms, His direction doesn’t always align with what looks logical, convenient, or even safe.
So often, I want to chart my own course, guided by fear, ambition, or the approval of others. But when I quiet the noise and truly listen, I can sense the gentle pull of the Spirit. My heart whispers reminders that God’s way may not be the easiest, but it is always the truest.
Running toward God means trusting that He has already placed within me a compass that points to His love and His will. It means letting go of my limited understanding and stepping into the unknown with faith.
Today, I choose to run in His direction, even when it defies the world’s wisdom. I choose to let my soul lead me home.
Bible Verse
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” – Proverbs 3:5-6
Reflection Question
Where in your life do you feel God calling you to trust Him more deeply, even if it doesn’t make sense to the world?
Prayer:
Lord, help me silence the distractions that keep me from hearing You. Give me the courage to run where You are calling, even when the way is unclear. Teach me to trust the wisdom You have planted in my heart.
