~The Heart of Jesus~

Yesterday I was sitting in Tim's reading my Bible. God became to really show is heart to me through what I was reading. I was reading Matthew 15: 29-32. The Story of Jesus feeding the four thousand.

Jesus left there and went along the Sea of Galilee. Then he went up on a mountainside and sat down. Great crowds came to him, bringing the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute and many others, and laid them at his feet; and he healed them. The people were amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled made well, the lame walking and the blind seeing. And they praised the God of Israel.


Jesus called his disciples to him and said, "I have compassion for these people; they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry, or they may collapse on the way."



As I sat there I began to picture myself being there as Jesus was sitting on mountain side. There were CROWDS of people coming to see Jesus; they believed with ALL THEIR HEART that they would be healed. Imagine CROWDS of people who were lame, blind, crippled, and mute and many others. These people were all laid before Jesus.

Imagine this picture. It's it beautiful?

Jesus healed them all and people they were so amazed to see what He was doing. They were encouraged and their faith increased.

Jesus called his disciples to him and "I have compassion for these people, they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry, or they may collapse on the way."

Right here I saw and felt the heart of Jesus. He has compassion for these people. He watched them as they follow him for 3 DAYS and then he healed them of their sickness. He had a heart and a deep love for them. He didn't want them to leave hungry.

I can go further with this but I wanted to share with you my heart and what is burning inside of me. I sit here and cry because I feel the heart of Jesus. He is showing me and having me experience the same feelings He felt for His people.

I wish there was a better way I could expression the deep love and compassion I am feeling right now. I am so overwhelmed and overjoyed with God.

Picture yourself there
What are you experiencing?
What are you feeling?
What are you seeing?
What do you see?
What is your heart saying?



God is taking me into a new season. I feel I have come out of a long and dry season and I am excited to enter into a new season. Jesus thank You so much for showing the things You have shown me.
