God's Heart

In today's blog, we are going to go directly into the heart of God. What does the Lord's heart look like? What is inside His heart? Have you ever wondered?

Paul gave the most accurate picture of God's heart that has ever been recorded in human history. God's heart is summarized in one word: LOVE.

The love in God's heart is the most powerful force in the universe. It is incredibly dynamic. The love in God's heart is:

Patient
Kind
Does not envy
Does not boast
Not proud
Not rude
Not self-seeking
Not easily angered
Keeps no record of wrongs
Rejoices with the truth
Always protects
Always trusts
Always hopes
Always perseveres

God's heart is full of a love that never fails.

(1 Corinthians 13)

Many people often mistake love as a feeling or equate it with sex, and this is the source of much confusion in the world today. Love isn't a feeling and it certainly isn't sex.

Look inside your own heart today and compare your heart with God's heart. What do you see? Is there a difference? Jesus wants you to possess a heart that is filled with God's love. That is what the Cross is all about. Before He went to the Cross, Jesus told His disciples:

This is My commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you. (John 15:12)

God loves us. His love is a love like no other. It has amazing power - the power to heal, to transform, to bring people back to life.

At the end of his description of God's heart, Paul said this:

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. (1 Corinthians 13:13)

There is nothing greater than God's heart - a heart filled with never failing love.

May your heart be increasingly filled with God's never failing love.

Agape,
