Hello Everyone

The heartbeat of God. 1John 4:10. As children, our family doctor would occasionally let us listen to our own hearts through his stethoscope. It was quite mesmerising to tune into the sound of our hearts pounding, and as we listened intensely, the beating was magnified with such clarity by the medical device. We were attuned, captivated and attentive. There was no other sound. As I recalled that memory, it made me realise what an incredible thing it is when we come to an understanding that the God of all creation has a heart that beats for us in a continuous rhythm of love. The heartbeat of God pulsates endlessly with a depth of love that can never be plumbed by finite minds.

As the heartbeat of God beats consistently and ceaselessly for us, we also realise that God is the incurable lover of our souls. Even if God wanted to, He could not change His love for us because the nature of God Himself is love and the heartbeat of God towards us, His children, is unbreakable. God has bound His own heart to our hearts and never has there been one who has pledged to love us without qualification, where we, the unworthy recipients become the beneficiaries of a love that is irreversibly ours.

The heartbeat of God flows down in love to our hearts that have been shattered by the fall. It flows down with an awareness that it may not flow back from those God loves unconditionally. But this does not change the heartbeat of God as it is unstoppable in its flow. As we search with lanterns in the depths of our own hearts for a love that will define every part of our beings, we become aware that it is only God who can and will love us perfectly. No other person can give this type of love. The heartbeat of God bathes us in His love moment by moment and when we realise even a small measure of the dimensions of His love, we are changed forever by the incurable Lover of our souls. Can you hear the heartbeat of God?

So, friends, get “God’s heartbeat” on today.

 

Best days to come.
