IN YOUR HEAD OR YOUR HEART

Jesus said: "You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life...yet you refuse to come to me to have eternal life...I know that you do not have the love of God in your hearts."

Where is the love of God for you? I was thinking about this today. There was a long time in my life where I knew Jesus but didn't really have him penetrate my heart. I ran across a little bit of writings that I wrote about 10 years ago. I was so surprised how much I worried back then. Life is so incredibly different now - all because Jesus has invaded my heart. I allowed him to come in to the depths of who I was/am. I've made myself vulnerable for him to change me and shape me. Not that I don't ever worry, but it doesn't stay. Satan does not have power over that area in my life anymore. I capture it and claim the truth. Like I shared yesterday, each time God raises the bar I become stronger.

It is your heart that Jesus wants. I think of someone who cannot read or understand the scripture. It is not head knowledge that they have it is the love of Jesus that they possess in their heart. When you think about your heart it is a very fragile part of you. It can be broken very easily and we want to protect it with all that we have. Yet if we do not open it up to love and be loved it will forever be cold and dark. Jesus will never break your heart, he will never leave you, ever! He wants to just love all over you and me. Stop right now, close your eyes and ask Jesus to penetrate in your heart today. Open it up, all the way, don't hide anything, just let him in. Don't be ashamed of what is in there, he's already forgiven it, confess it and he washes it away. Some may say about their spouse/boy(girl) friend - "they have captured my heart". Allow Jesus to capture your heart. He should be your first love. Fall in love with him - tell him, out loud, that you love him. It is his love that will overflow into our life.

Guide us Jesus in the next steps. I love you Jesus!
