Did Not Our Heart Burn?

Let me just say, I love this video.

I love the two disciples' reaction as Christ is about to depart from them and they ask Him to stay the evening with them.  They didn't recognize Jesus with whom they walked, because "their eyes were holden that they should not know him" (Luke 24:16 KJV).  I don't think it was only out of politeness that they asked Him to abide with them, or even because He was expounding "in all the scriptures the things concerning himself."  I think it was because they felt the Spirit as He spoke.  They felt it powerfully testifying of the truths He taught, and comforting their sad countenances.  Recognizing that feeling, they invited Him to stay, just a little longer.

"Did not our heart burn within us?" (Verse 32)

I want to be as the disciples along the road to Emmaus.  I want to be able to recognize that Spirit speaking to me, testifying to me, comforting me.  I want to be able to choose the paths that allow Him to stay.  I want to have the courage and initiative to invite Him to abide with me, in all that I do.  And I want to be able to say with confidence "Did not my heart burn within me?"

I want God to guide me as I walk the roads on this Earth, and I know He can do so if I live my life in a way that the Holy Ghost can direct my paths.

My goal is to get better at creating quiet, calm moments, where I can pay attention to how I feel and how the Spirit communicates with me.  Along my own road to Emmaus, I hope I'll be able to say at the end, that my heart could feel it all along the way.
