The God who Passionately Loves
"Would not God search this out? For He knows the secrets of the heart." Psalm 44:21 It is so good to remember that God knows me... And in spite of -not because of - His intimate knowledge of Me, He loves me. Love has to give, just due to its nature. It is self-sacrificing and gives all every time, yet it's not able to show itself without an object to lavish itself on. As the waves of the sea need a shore to wash over again and again, so God seeks out a heart to wash over again and again with His love. Imagine it! This is why He created us. It was not good for the Godhead to be alone. Why? Because love that has no one to give to can't truly reveal its full splendor. God desires to lavish His love on an undeserving heart, because it's there that His love's full depth and power is revealed, awe is inspired, and His heart is finally understood by a watching world. What keeps us from knowing His love? Ask yourself.... Have I built walls on my heart...
