A Heart For God

My newest read is a book called, A Heart For God, written by John Coblentz.
  And I am thoroughly enjoying it!
   
  Here is a little about the book that is written on the back cover.




" The heart is a marvelous thing."
 " It is created by God, for God. It has longings and desires and out of those, man responds. Our heart was designed to  worship God.
  However, sin damages our hearts, deadens our conscience, darkens our understanding and mind and warps our desires. It enslaves the will, clouds our judgement and alienates us from God.
    Then there is cleansing. Through repentance, confession, acquaintance and fellowship with God, the heart is changed and recreated into the likeness of Him who loved and died for us. Now we have a new and clean heart with new desires and longings. One that is changed into the same image from glory to glory even as by the Spirit of the Lord. Through having a love for Truth and experiencing God's love  in our hearts we can have A Heart For God."


 "This book is written for those who love light and are willing to expose their hearts to God and man. It is written on a scriptural basis with clear outlines with an easy reading style. The reader will be challenged, inspired, instructed, and changed into a vessel that is fit to bring glory and honor to Christ's kingdom."




   A heart after God's own heart, and a vessel fit to bring God glory, is what I so long for in my life.
 How about you?

Amazing Love

   I absolutely love this song!!


                                  Amazing Love
                               I'm forgiven because You were forsaken,
                               I'm accepted, You were condemned.
                               I am alive and well, Your spirit is within me,
                               Because You died and rose again.


                                 ( Chorus)
                               Amazing love,
                               How can it be?
                               That you my King would die for me?
                               Amazing love,
                               I know it's true.
                                It's my joy to honour You,
                                In all I do, I honour You.


     What beautiful words!
   It's all because of what Jesus did on the cross for us that we have life! He was forsaken, and we were forgiven!  He was condemned , we were accepted!!  So very precious!! What amazing love!




  And the last lines of the chorus, can not just be said lightly. To really sing that song in true devotion and commitment to God, we must really mean what we say. If it is not our  joy to honour Him in all that we do, then we really must make that true in our lives.  Because it should be our greatest joy to serve and honour Him!!
  And yes, EVERYTHING we do should be HONOURING to Him. If we truly love Him, we will not have any desire to do anything that is not honouring to God.


  Hope you enjoy this song as I do.   And may each one of us boldly say with our whole hearts , " It is my joy to honour You God. In all I do I honour You!"


 In Him,
Mae
