The Heart of Christ: Let this heart be in you.

Sometimes in life a traumatic experience takes place that makes no sense and you sit and wonder, what was the purpose. The thought ponders your mind, “but why”, as you try to cope with the pain inside. The burden, the grief, the pain that can never be brief.

Listen, I bought you with a price, a price that I paid, by giving MY life. You are of value and I love you so much, that I would lay down My life for you. A sinner, who knew no good, but by MY grace you came into the glory. Do you not know that I have the power to turn this around? Do I not have the power to cause all things to cease? But, I choose to love you. I choose to bring you into life. I choose you as an example of MY love. I choose you to love when you think it is impossible to love.

The love that I require of you is not your love but it is MY love. The love that passes all understanding, the love that will shape not just your tomorrow, but the world’s tomorrow.

Allow MY love to transform your life into MY life. As I laid there on the cross, I knew that MY life was not in vain. As I felt each nail it was MY love for you that allowed ME to bare the pain. I take joy in knowing that each one of you was worth what I endured.

Take the heart, which is in ME, learn MY ways, love as I love and change this world. I choose you; I committed MY life to you.

As I stretch out MY hands to you, I have MY heart beating and pounding in MY hand. And I request that you would replace your old beating heart, which is ready to give out, and replace it with MINE.

It does not mean that you will not feel pain. It does not mean that you will not endure hardship. What it does mean is that you have the ability to love beyond the circumstances. This is why I came, that you may have life and have it more abundantly. Take MY yoke upon you and learn of ME, for MY yoke is easy and MY burden is light. Love and live, not according to how you feel, but love and live according to MY heart, which I give to you this day. Let it transform your life, your thinking, your pain, your emotions, and watch ME do the work.

Trust ME, I am yours and you are MINE.

As I revive you to live ~ forgive, heal, minister, deliver, and transform the world through the heart in which I gave you.

You are not exempt from hurt or pain, but you can show the world how to love again, because of MY love and gift to you. For the love in which I give is perfect.
