Seeking God’s Heart

Botham Jean was killed by Amber Guyger when she entered the wrong apartment and thought he was in her apartment. Jean's brother, Brandt Jean, forgave and embraced Amber Guyger after he finished his victim impact statement. Then, Judge Tammy Kemp gave Amber Guyger a bible and told her, "“You did something bad in one moment in time. What you do now matters." NKJV 2Cor 5:14-15,18: "For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again. … Now all things are of God, who has reconciled ...

Imagine standing before our Father as you look up into his eyes and say, "I'm not worthy!" Then, with compassion, He reaches out and touches your face and says, "I know my child, but it doesn't depend on you. My Son is worthy and He died for you!"

Do you perceive God as if He is out there somewhere... on a mountain top, in a temple, or even way up there in heaven? The reality of the New Covenant is that we are traveling through this life together with God through the Holy Spirit that lives within us. If we want more intimacy with God we don't need to look up... we need to look in. I pray that we all embrace the intimacy of the New Covenant relationship that we have with our Father. God and Jesus sacrificed greatly to give us the opportunity to become His children. How tragic would it be ...

Even though God’s Spirit confirms to us that we are His children, we often act as if we live in the afterglow of His presence. We behave as if His miracles were primarily for a time that has passed. It often seems like we are just going through the motions as we wait for Christ’s return. Are we that different from many of the early disciples who, while waiting for Jesus to set up His kingdom on earth, failed to experience the intimacy of His presence? Jesus told His disciples that it was better for them if He went away. He said if He went away (back to the Father) the Holy Spirit would come to be with us forever ...
