God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow ... And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Philippians 2:9-11

Jesus Has a Great Open Heart

The Lord's heart is wide open to those who want the key to it. We don't have to be afraid to respond to his love at any time.


All we have to do is enter into that love by faith, for faith works by His love.


His heart isn't wooden or stone or hard, it's a heart kind toward His people, His bride.


One of His desires is to have us respond back to His open heart with the very love He shares with us. We need to learn to encourage one another not to harden our hearts toward our Father, for He's not hardened toward us.


Even that we have to ask Him to do in us, as we can do nothing without Him. It's a beautiful dependency that he's created for us to have on Him, if we'd only believe His arms are open wide to us, no matter where were at. We only need to believe they are.


Let's not allow the cares of this world and the endless problems associated with it cause us to look away from Jesus and close our hearts to Him, or one another.


He told us when He was on the earth that we would suffer through problem here, but to be happy and cheerful, because He had overcome the world. And the one that has overcome the world lives within us. We can rest with open hearts to Him, while the storms rage around and upon us, for He is able to hold us up, no matter what has happened or what we feel.


Jesus is a faithful friend and lover, and He will never forsake us.
