From His Heart to Yours

THE POWER OF THE FATHER’S HEART

The love of the Father. Who can know it. An earthly father has tasted and shared only a small imitation of it.

Imagine forming your child from its very inception. You fill every touch with a love so strong no one on earth can understand or experience it. Every part of this child’s body mind and spirit is formed to receive love. It is encased with a promise of what it is to be. Then you give it birth with the joy of watching it grow to the fullness of what you have made.

But then - an excruciating pain - a wicked attack! The move against this child wants to rob, kill and destroy its life and purpose. An attempt to rescue it is made but there is no power strong enough to save it. It is marred and depleted; its vision and hope fade and the fear from the attack constantly whispers that it will come again. And so it is best not to try - but to just succumb to a lesser life, a lesser plan - to just survive its years until the end. The dreams and visions fade, passing time assures they will not return.

But then! The Father rises and in His power He sends a Savior! The Savior, Who by His own blood, washes the child, cleansing it of its wounds and sin; a new life is born and its vision is not only restored but empowered.

The Father’s heart is filled with tears of happiness in this restored life that has filled His creation. For every cell still carries the plan - its strength is increased and the Spirit of God will be its armor.

“This is My plan for all I have created - this is why My love must be your greatest weapon. Deliver My love to all you know and you will be continually filled with the love you share. The more you share My heart the greater your heart will be”.



THE BIBLE’S HEARTBEAT

In my prayer time this morning I was lead - almost magnetically pulled - to just place my hand on the Bible. Just to rest it there. With that came a love for its written word that just flowed into me at a level deeper than I have ever known. I realized it wasn’t my love for the Bible I was feeling; but the full context of His love poured out on its pages. I have been asking the Lord to help me understand how it - His Word - is actually alive – how it is health and medicine to our bodies; how does that work?

Then I felt, almost like a heartbeat, how He had poured His love, life and goodness into it - just to express the depth of a Father‘s love.

I know, for myself, sometimes I read it, or just study it. But other times I read it with my heart trying to climb inside His heart so to speak. That’s when it becomes an experience. So I sit here, looking at the Bible, closed, clearly exposing hundreds of pages, all filled with His heart. It is almost like touching His Presence; the depth of His being; it’s right here in front of me. He reaches out to us, calls us and gives us His life - revealing His deep desire to have us to Himself forever. And so, the words come off the pages and go into our hearts and give us life.

Of all the beautiful and incredible things we find in creation, to me this is the most amazing tangible experience of God.

“The word gave life to everything that was created and His life brought life to everyone.”
John 1:4
