The Fathers Heart

God cherishes His daughters. That is His heart toward you; your Father God loves you so much. Did you know that you are prefect in His sight, that you are a masterpiece to Him? Part of my personality is that I become excited when something turns out good; I'm all fired up. Well, do you know that God took so much time and care in creating you, that when you were born, He was fired up over you?

Usually we focus so much on the outside, but God is more interested in our heart and our life than in our outward appearance. When God molded you and formed you, He also put dreams inside of you, dreams yet to be fulfilled. He put desires in you. He created you so perfect in His eyes.

One of the aspects about God that I love so much is that He is El Roi, "...the God who sees..." (Gen. 16:13). He's the God who knows everything, and He still loves us so intimately. He desires that we walk in His Presence and that we communicate with Him. He's not interested in rhyming prayers or hearing us use big, religious-sounding words when we pray. He wants the truth; He wants reality. He wants us to tell Him what's going on and how we feel.

Every time I feel insecure, every time I face a scary situation, every time circumstances seem to be out of control, I am holding His hand. And he best part is that I know He's holding me.

...He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart... Isaiah 40:11
