A Daily Practice of Returning to Truth

The BEloved Heart Check is a simple practice for returning to God's love throughout the day.

It is not a checklist to complete or a formula to follow.

When you feel distracted, discouraged, anxious, frustrated throughout the day, or simply want to reconnect with God, use these questions to help you pause, pay attention, and return to what is true.

You do not need to complete every step. Sometimes one question is enough.

The goal is not perfection. The goal is awareness of God's presence and love.

B — Beloved

How is the Father loving me right now?

Remind yourself who you are; God's Beloved child.

E — Embrace

What gift, truth, or grace am I being invited to receive?

Open your hands and heart, just symbolically, to receive the truth God is offering to you in this moment.

L — Listen

What is Jesus drawing my attention to?

Slow down and notice what God may be highlighting through Scripture, circumstances or your heart.

O — Open

What needs to come into the light?

Bring your thoughts, feelings, fears and desires honestly before God.

V — View

How does love see this situation?

Ask how to help you see yourself, others and your circumstances through His eyes.

E — Entrust

What can I place in the Father's hands?

Release what you cannot control and trust God's care and wisdom.

D — Do

What is my next loving step?

Take one small step that flows from God's love and presence.

Remember

You can use the Heart Check anytime throughout the day, every day.
