God as the Designer of your heart
How to evaluate and sort through soul clutter
Why your heart needs a focal point
How God furnishes your heart
The importance of heart hospitality



Like a well-designed room, this devotional pulls in various elements to create a space for you to linger.

I'm not much of a home interior designer, but I enjoyed Valerie Griffith's comparisons between home design and heart design. Her poignant design analogies, practical suggestions, and prompts for reflection, will help you pause long enough to declutter your heart and focus on the One who desires to refresh you.
