THE HEART OF GOD

I had lunch with a dear friend today and she said okay you wrote about the hands of God and the eyes of God, I expected more, aren't you going to write any more? So I came home and it came to me to write about the Heart of God. Just thinking of that overwhelms me, but I can at least write about a few things that we know from Scripture that reveal God's heart. It will just be the very tip of the iceberg!  Someone once said that the Bible is more than words on paper it is God's love letter to mankind, I love that!! 

I wrote one time that the Bible is God's heart revealed and I still maintain that. Whatever else it is;  it is the joy of my  heart, the passion of my life, my teacher, my light, my transformation, for in Scripture I discovered Jesus Christ, I heard the Gospel, I believed in Jesus Christ and confessed Him as my Lord, I know God raised Him from the dead and He lives, He intercedes for me in prayer and one day soon He is coming back to call forth His own and the dead in Christ will rise first and then we who are alive  will be caught up in the air and will always be with Him! Maranatha!

God's Love

"Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails." 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
