LOVING GOD AND BEING LOVED BY HIM

God loves to be loved, and because we're made in His image, we love to be loved too. He designed us to desire Him. His tugs within us draw us to Him. We crave close communion with Him, desiring to be fully embraced by Him. The only one who can truly satisfy the human heart is the one who made it.

God desires close communion with those made in His image, with heaven hidden deep in our hearts. He is nearer to us than we think and richly present in all our moments through out the day.

The deepest yearnings in our hearts are for intimacy with God. That feeling of homesickness is a longing to join Him in our heavenly home and live for eternity with our Everlasting Father. There's a God shaped hole in the heart of every person which cannot be satisfied by nothing else except the Everlasting Father.

To God be the glory.
