Heart at War

Ok, so to find the definition of this 'phrase' I'm going to break it up with my own definitions and then add scriptures and Quotes.

Heart: The thing that keeps you alive. Physically and Spiritually.
Its where its said that deep feeling accor and where changes to your personality happen. Its where emotions happen and peace happen.

War: Turmoil, fighting, contention, conflict, hate.

So a Heart at War is literally you feelings battling against themselves.

QUOTES:

"Hearts At War"

So after all that we have done, are you feeling cold?
Like the winter sun, and have you thought of all the words
We left unsaid, don't be scared, you shouldn't be

Hearts at war, drunk on dreams
Of all that's been lost now
Let them bleed, just let them

Run away as far as you can and hide behind all the promises
But I'll find you cause you're a fire
And I'm the rain, don't be afraid

Hearts at war, drunk on dreams
Of all that's lost now
Let them bleed
Hearts at war
For think of love
And there's no escaping,
what we have brought upon ourselves again

Hearts at war, drunk on dreams
Of all that's been lost now
Let them bleed
Hearts at war
For the think of love
And there's no escaping
What we have brought upon ourselves again

There is no way I’m waitin
We’ve brought this upon ourselves again.                                                     

PERSONAL DEFINITION:
When our hearts are at war, it might seem like there is no way to go back and oits all just a confusion and illusion and nothing seems real anymore, but really we just haven't gone to the right source. The way to get back onto the path and have peace, is through Jesus Christ.
When we don't have a heart at war, we are free to lead with Charity.
