About this ebook
Hope for Weary Souls
What does it mean to be soul-weary?
Maybe you already know the answer far too well. And what is Hearts-ease? Literally, it is a small, cheerful flower that resembles pansies and violets. In flower meanings, it represents peace, rest, and healing. Ease for your heartache, your heartbreak. J

Blessings For You
There is a lovely, small flower which adds color and cheer to any garden or byway. Sometimes it is called Viola. Or, whimsically, Johnny-Jump-Up. My favorite name is the old European one: Hearts-Ease.
In the folklore of flowers, the flower Hearts-Ease has many meanings—tranquility, peace of mind, restfulness. Qualities that we all yearn to possess.
In my experience, Hearts.-Ease can only come when one discovers the beautiful truth in all its wonder. So... we will start there.
The Beautiful Truth
Willie Lee was an elderly lady in a local nursing home which I used to visit every Sunday. Because of diabetes, she’d had to have one leg amputated. But she never complained.
Whenever I came to visit, Willie Lee would turn off the TV in her room so we could talk about God and pray together.
One day, Willie Lee used an expression I had never heard before. She was talking about the goodness and faithfulness of God. She finished with a graceful wave of her hand and the words "Darlin’, it’s the beautiful truth!"
I loved the sound of those words!
Willie always spoke very slowly and graciously.
"Our Jesus, she would say,
He loves us all. And He loves us all the time. Sweetie—it’s the beautiful truth!" I can still hear her as if it were yesterday—her low, patient voice speaking the words which first snagged my heart and are now engraved upon it.
Thank you, Willie Lee, for helping me to understand the beautiful truth.
I have loved writing this little book. God gave me joy and inspiration and guided me to the scriptures He wanted me to include. It has been the most wonderful experience! But it didn’t start out that way. Below is my prayer from Day One...
An Honest Prayer
Dear Lord....I am here. July 10, 2013. I am waiting to write your book. I should be already writing. But I have no enthusiasm. At all. Please give me a vision for this book. Please place it in my heart. I have waited too long to do your will and write it. Please help me. I don’t even want to write it. Please, Lord, give me enough enthusiasm to at least start. Thank you.
By nightfall I had typed eleven pages. Thank you for answered prayer, Father God.
Jesus Loves You
How do you begin to know that Jesus really loves you? With a deep, delighted, forever kind of love? A special love.
First, simply talk to Him. Ask Him to show you. Ask that ye may receive, that your joy may be full.
(John 16:24)
Ask Him to put the absolute certainty—the blessed assurance of it—in your heart. He will.
St. Augustine said, He loves each of us as if there were only one of us.
And it’s true.
You are as precious to God as an only child. Jesus would have died on the cross to save just you, or just me.
It’s staggering, isn’t it? We can’t imagine such a love; and yet, in it we move and breathe and have our being.
(Acts 17:28)
In my home I have pictures of Jesus the Good Shepherd, Christ gazing at the rich young ruler, and one almost life size portrait of just His face. Plus several other smaller pictures of the cross, the Holy family and—well, you
