Echoes of God's Heartbeat
Looking through an earlier blog, I found this and realized it's still a learning process - this 'school of life':
"God has been working on my heart a lot these last few days.
I hadn’t wanted to realize you can’t hide from God’s love forever.
You can choose to reject it but it will find you.
What you do with it will change your life one way or another.
“For the Lord your God is living among you.
He is a mighty savior.
He will take delight in you with gladness.
With His love, He will calm ALL your fears.
He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.”
Zephaniah 3:17
My prayer has been to hear the heartbeat of God here for the people.
Now I know personally more of the love that overcomes even death itself.
God’s grace is undeserved and yet always desired.
If only we reach out and accept it.
Lay down our pride and self-sufficiency (which is a lie anyway) and find out at the end of our rope our Heavenly Father is there waiting to catch us.
Our Lord longs to have us rest in the powerful hands which created us and allow our ‘spoiled’ hearts to be healed.
Christ knows about pain – the suffering He endured on the cross is proof of that.
Jesus knows about real love too – and He has never stopped loving you and me.
Incredible isn’t it?
“God showed how much He loved us by sending His one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through Him.
This is real love – not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.”
1 John 4:9-10
Another notepad journal entry I found from November 22, 2008:
“Are you ready My child?”
“No, I don’t think I am. I am not prepared.”
“It’s okay, I believe you are.
Trust Me, hold on to my hand, I will lead you.
You be.
I’ll do.
For My glory.
Rely on Me.
I love you.
Draw near to Me – like a fountain or stream, the closer you are, the more you will flourish.
Sit at My feet. Listen to My voice, hear and feel My heart.
Butterflies are so fragile.
I’ll be your breath, your beauty, your nourishment.
Alight on My petals, drink the sweet nectar, don’t hold back.
You may not understand, but I am true. Believe in Me.”
“Lord, I want to know when and understand how!”
“Why do you want to know? What will do with that knowledge? How are you using the knowledge that you already have?”
The most beautiful sound is God’s heartbeat. Everything else beautiful and lovely is an echo of His love.
Found in grace, mercy, forgiveness, justice, love, peace, comfort, faithfulness, holiness, joy.
