What Is On The Heart of God?
Have you ever wondered what is on the heart of God?
Would it be a deep love for us, as a mother has for her children? Such love would do anything and sacrifice everything. It is a love so deep that even when we blow it we know that we are still loved by God.
Would God's heart be filled with pride over our faith and accomplishments? Pride like when a parent hangs their child's artwork on the fridge or is quick to show the latest pictures. When Satan approached God, God asked, "Have you seen my servant Job?"
Can you sense the pride in who Job is? I wonder, does God point us out to the angels and ask with pride, "Have you seen...
isn't he or she great?
Would God's heart be filled with joy as He considers who we are and who we are becoming? It was for the joy set before Him that Jesus endured the cross. We are His joy. Nothing gives God joy more than when we walk and talk with Him and trust Him fully.
Would God's heart be full of confidence as we encounter tough times? Confident we will stand. Confident we will make it through. Confident that our faith will grow stronger. A confidence that cheers and encourages us onward as we walk the narrow way.
Would God's heart be please with how we live out our faith? For it is impossible to please God with out faith. Too often we live by what we see and what makes sense to us when God wants us to walk by faith, trusting Him with our all.
I wonder, what is on the heart of God when He considers you and me? For all the things that could be on the heart of God, I am awed by the fact that God loves me enough to call me His child.
Blessings,
Pastor Pete
