God With A Heart?

Yes, we have a God with a heart! In fact, He has a heart that is bigger than life! Contrary to the thinking of many that He has vindictive attitude, we have a forgiving God. This we have seen and had been shown by our Lord Jesus. Mercy and not sacrifice is what He gave during His lifetime. Mercy is what we had been receiving during our lifetime. If not, where do you think will we be right now because of our sins? What should we had deserved by now because of the evil things we had done? Do we still deserve the heat of the sun, the blow of the air, the fruits of the trees, the meat from the animals, the "perks" of life? Even counting the sufferings and challenges we are experiencing, where we are now and what we are having, are greatly outweighed by God's goodness.

Truth is, God understands, forgives, loves and cares. In human terms, He is with a heart! This we must never forget and take for granted. Sometimes, we live as if we had been forsaken by Him. Sometimes we live as if He does not exist at all. Sometimes we live as if He is here only to look for our mistakes and punish us. Instead, we should recognize His goodness. Instead, we should appreciate His understanding and mercy. Instead, we should be forever thankful for His enduring and unconditional love for us.

Thank God He has a heart!
