Before I was, God had already prepared a place in His heart for me.
For 27 years I was totally unaware of His love for me. The space in His heart for me was empty and He longed for it to be filled. On the day that I heard the Lord speaking to me, as the preacher spoke about the cross of Christ, I know that there would have been a great anticipation in heaven as Jesus and the angels waited for the moment, the very moment when I would say 'yes' to Him. Then the home coming party started. I moved into my space in the Father's heart and He was complete - at least that part of Him that was lonely without me!
What a wonderful thought.

Every prayer that we pray, whether it's spoken out or not, is precious to God. He desires relationship with us and wants us to worship Him with all that we are. When we pray we are acknowledging Him as God which is worship, so He listens. What is even more wonderful to me is that as we pray, when we listen to the Holy Spirit we can pray what is on God's heart according to His will and that His will is done through those prayers. How graceous a God we're loved by.

When we're willing to 'put ourselves out there' God is gracious and even if we've misheard
where we're to be at a given moment He uses our obedience and sows where we didn't
even think that there was a bald patch. Then He waters the ground with His Holy Spirit and
brings fruit to bear in lives that we didn't know we'd even touched. How great and merciful is our wonderfully redeeming God. Oh yes!

My heart says of you, "Seek His face!"
Your face, LORD, I will seek.
I will seek the Lord's face every day. I'll seek it for my family, I'll seek it for my nation. For everything that I desire comes from knowing and loving Him more. The Lord is my light and my song, for in the day of trouble He will keep me in the shelter of His tabernacle.
