Having a heart to love and live

During prayer yesterday, God's love just swamped me in the same measure of which He gave me understanding. Our God is a God who relates to us in love. Just simply that and nothing else. Coming to earth to live with us and dying on the cross to redeem us is the epitome of His great, unmeasurable and uncontainable love.

As we sing, "indescribable, uncontainable"...do we actually believe it in our hearts? That's one thing that God asked me. I think even if our limited minds just grasp a glimpse of his unmeasurable love, we'll be amazed EVERY DAY! Claim the fullness of life that Jesus has bought for us with His blood, be courageous and trust that God is who He claims to be. LOVE.

I had this vision of a heart with holes and wounds during prayer. And you know when we say heal our broken hearts, we have this image of a whole heart that is no longer "holely". So when I still had a vision of a heart with holes in it and blood just coming out of it, I was asking God whether my vision is Biblical.

He showed me how He created our hearts with holes! Its just so simple! All creation testifies of Him. That the holes in our hearts are meant to allow blood to flow and bring live to the rest of the Body. So when it says to heal our hearts, it also means that the heart is healed! Haha...sorry to sound so simplistic but our God is a simple God! So a healed heart is one that is able to fulfill its function, which is to pump blood for life! God truly wants to give us life and when we receive Jesus Christ as Lord, He gives us the ability to truly live...which is the courage to LOVE and LOVE again each time we are hurt by people (Can't be denied that we live in a hurting world...which is the main reason that Jesus had to come and redeem us with love and forgiveness!)

This is true love, not that we love God but He first loves us. =) With His love flowing through us, the love you give to others will never run dry! If God has touched your heart, pls tag!
