After God’s Heart
The most intimate of relationships
is marked by the union of two hearts. One party knows the other’s mind,
empathizes with his feelings, and endeavors to meet his deepest desires.
Likewise, building an intimate
relationship with God involves first learning about God’s heart—His will, His
thoughts, His feelings, and His ways. As
we grow in our love and understanding of God, we learn to manifest more of His
divine nature and claim His heart’s desires as our own.
The following theme articles offer
us some insight on how we can be a person after God’s heart. In particular, we
are called to consider more closely God’s sorrow and His jealousy for us, and
how embracing these attributes as our own is beneficial to our spiritual
growth.
As we continue to understand God’s
heart, we also knit ourselves with the Lord until we are approved and
acceptable to Him.
