THE HEART OF GOD

Recently I’ve shared some personable thoughts about the Being called God.

This was intentional on my part.

I wanted us to view him through a different lens.

More from a human perspective rather than from a deified one.

God is frequently referred to in terms of what he can do, rather than who he is.

More consideration seems to be given to his ability, than his availability to us.

The fact that he is with us, is far more important that what he can do for us.

We often hear…God will do this for me, or God will do that for me.

God get me, God let me, God be my Genie. But what about God the Being.

God is more than what he does, or what he can do for us.

No one wants to be used, especially for only what they can offer.

Not Me. I’ sure Not You. Definitely, Not God!

It would hurt my heart to be used that way. Would it not you?

God also has a heart. Just like we do.

A heart that can be hurt, filled with joy, sadness, and have countless other feelings.

The heart blends both the physical and spiritual parts of us together.

That blending is known as the reasoning of the heart. Heart thoughts.

Which is altogether different than the reasoning of the mind! Head thoughts.

The heart is the epicenter of all our emotions, feelings, and affections.

No one I know has ever said I love you with all my brains.

In the bible, the brain is not mentioned once, but the heart is, more than 800 times.

Do you think God cares about the heart? I’d say so.

God is described as knowing our hearts not our heads.

Character is attributed to the heart, not the head.

Much of which comes out of our mouth comes from our heart.

You can be wise or foolish in your heart. Love and hate are in the heart too.

Wonder what is in God’s Heart? What character is revealed in the Heart of God?

God’s Heart is both all knowing and all loving at the same time.

He knows all our dirty little secrets, yet he still loves us dearly.

He knows every skeleton we’ve ever had. Yet he loves us unconditionally.

What if we had a heart like God?

Loving those whom we know their dirt. I bet that would make God’s Heart happy.

When we see someone struggling, we just offer them help, not judgement. He would smile.

If we think on the goodness of our own heart, then we can get a glimpse of God’s Heart.

Sometimes we wish people could see the good in our heart.  God is the same way.

God longs for us to know him, to know His Heart.

If we knew his heart, then maybe we wouldn’t be so quick to judge him either.

Let’s try to commit to a deeper and more transformative way of seeing God.

Let’s see him as one who knows what is best, and will always do what is best, because he loves us the most. Let’s see the Heart of God.

I had to do that myself recently when my little brother passed away suddenly.

I prayed God why? The answer I received was, I did what was best for him.

  This is a Thompson Truth.
