Heart Journey, 101-105

Your Journey to the Heart of God
You are invited to come on an amazing journey uniquely designed and different for each person, designed to heal any wounds in your heart.

101) My Heart 
My bride, are you ready for My heart? Are you ready to cry and laugh as never before? Are you ready to feel deep sorrows and intense delights? Are you ready for new levels of compassion and mercy and understanding? 

I long and yearn to give this to you. Can you bear this gift? For My heart requires a cost and a sacrifice of giving your very life. How can I be united with a bride that does not have My heart? I will not have a half-hearted bride. 

Yes, I will give this heart to you and to all who truly desire it. Yes, I will give it cries the Lord. Yes, I will give you intimacy, My same thoughts, desires and secrets. Yes, I will give you Myself. I will pour Myself out to you. I will not hold My love back for I have made a covenant with you. I will be one with My bride I will be one. I will be listening for your cries. Come let us be one my love. 

102) The Heart of Jesus 
Carries every breath of life 
The perfect example of the Father’s love 
The comforter of countless broken
hearts 
The champion of broken and lost dreams 
The beacon of hope for those in darkness
A bastion of kindness and gentleness and mercy 
When there is none 
The lighthouse of inspiration 
The ocean of forgiveness for our sins 
The hiding place for the forgotten 
and the nameless  

The keeper of every tear and 
Burial place for our sorrows 
The place for courage and the strength to go on 
The pinnacle of beauty 
And the joy of salvation 
The birthplace of laughter 
And the resting place of pleasure 
The heart of Jesus 
The heartbeat of eternity 
Home 

103) Do Right
Learn to do right! Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow.  Isaiah 1:17 

In following the words of Isaiah, we can more deeply capture the essence of the heart of God. We all must do this in our own way as we daily follow the Lord and together go on the journey to the heart of God. 

Learn to do right; seek justice.
    Defend the oppressed.
Take up the cause of the fatherless;
    Plead the case of the widow.

Learn to do right; seek justice.
    Defend the oppressed.
Take up the cause of the fatherless;
    Plead the case of the widow.

104) Destiny 
Destiny is a word that comes in a gift-wrapped package of mystery and surprise and fear. In fact, we choose our destiny through our daily actions. We become what we think about and act upon. The choices that we make form a portrait of our lives. If we surrender these choices to God, He will make a masterpiece of our lives that reflects His glory. We were not made to be ordinary and mundane. Each one of us are called and destined to be a unique treasure that reflects a different part of God’s beauty and majesty. 

Part of the evil one’s plan is to make us feel ordinary, worthless and temporary. We are ground down by the daily hammer of trouble and struggle. We are created to be a valued, prized and everlasting part of the universe. 

God has formed our destiny with His own hands and sacrifice. If we surrender to God and trust Him, we will succeed. Life without surrender will culminate in our pointless destruction. We are the treasure. The treasures of the Lord will last forever. The treasures of this world will rust and fade. 

Our destiny lies with our choice to surrender or not to surrender to God. Our destiny is a package that God wants to fill with priceless surprises. Destiny should be a welcome word, and not terrifying one. A treasure with nothing in it is a pointless one indeed. An empty reminder of what might have been. 

105) FAITHFUL
I am faithful
So faithful to you
Deeply faithful
Completely committed to you

More than music that floods the heart
And light that fills the sky
More than sun that chases the night
I will be here
I will stand by

More than the stars that are fixed in place
And waves that rush to the shore
More than the mountains that stand firm
I am faithful still the more

More than all the promises every kept
My covenant is sure and true
I am completely devoted
And endlessly faithful to you

If all the words and acts of love
Were put into one place
They would not match my devotion
And even the oceans of my grace
Could not capture
My loving emotion
For even sin and evil do not bind
For I am the mercy you will find
Just ask and receive
I am committed to be faithfully kind
Hear my beloved of my love for you
Of my covenant sure and true
I will save and deliver 
For a I am completely faithful
And endlessly devoted to you
