Echo of God

DAY 2 OF 8

Echo of the heart

Imagine you are painting a beautiful picture. It is a true masterpiece. Everyone admires it. Everyone wants to see it. Every museum wants to exhibit it. And with it you travel around the world. Until one day. When suddenly someone destroys your painting wantonly. With a thick brush of black paint, he covers the beauty of your work of art. Just like that. Would that leave you cold?

God's heart beats for his creation. It beats for nature. For the animals. And especially for you. It doesn't leave Him cold when He sees how we treat each other and His creation. After all, He created it all. It is His masterpiece. And He thought it was very good. His plan was that we humans cultivate and preserve this world. Not exploit and destroy it. As a child of God, you have access to the heart of God. You can literally feel His heartbeat. What He desires is for your heart to beat like His. He so desires that His heartbeat be echoed in yours. Can you feel the pain that His heart is feeling? Do you feel what He feels? Do you see what He sees? Do you rejoice with what He rejoices in? God has put a part of Himself in your heart. So that you are the echo of His heart in this world. His ear. His hand. His mouth. His eyes. He wants to use you to bring His Kingdom to this world. Are you ready for that?
