Where the heart of God is lived out is where the Kingdom of God is advanced. Jesus said that He did not come to do His own will, but the will of the Father who sent Him (John 6:38). He … Continue Reading His Heart/My Mission
Love is and has always been God’s primary motivation. After all, God is love. This is not to say that love defines God, but rather that God defines love…humble, selfless, and sacrificial. He is the epitome of justice, and the … Continue Reading My Father’s Heart
When I hear my Father’s voice, I hear love. I think the biggest obstacle to understanding God is the misunderstanding of how He views us. When we miss the truth of how God loves–how relentlessly and selflessly He loves–we miss … Continue Reading My Father’s Voice
