The Lord Jesus in Our Hearts

In the beginning, human beings rejected God's rules and ran their lives their own way. The result was to be condemned by God and face death and judgment. But because of God's great love and generosity, He did not want to leave us to suffer the consequence of our foolish rebellion. So to save us, God sent His only Son into our world to become a human being just like us, with a heart, body and soul. Jesus Christ lived on earth and made His body submit to God, to love and care for others and also to suffer for our sake.

Imagine your heart is a room and this room is filled with self confidence (that you can do anything), self ego (that everything is under control), and lots of self-knowledge. Sooner or later, you will start to loose control and your problems will get heavier to handle on your own and your heart will start to be fill with darkness.

Now imagine your heart is an empty room that God's spirit can come and fill it up with love, peace, wisdom, forgiveness...Think how much light will be in this room. Not only will you feel it, but also everyone around you will come to God through you.

"He who does not love does not know God, for God is love" (1 John 4:8).

It is wonderful to know that God loves all His children the same, for we all are His children and our bodies are formed by His own hand; our spirits are part of His own breath. God poured out the same love and spirit on all His children, like living water. And if we are receptive to him and open to His will, the living water will not only quench our thirst, but also flows out to others around us. On the other hand, if our heart is filled with other things away from God, only a few drops are able to come in.
