To Bear Love's Heart

For quite a while I've wanted to do something dedicated mainly to orphans and this "new thing" in my life to share the heart of Love with those in our world who are so very needy. Over the past year or two God has used my brief meetings with those who truly can be called in need in the physical and material sense to open and motivate me to press into a deeper place in my faith. To have faith in the love He has given me, and so to try and share that as He's called me too not just with the poorest but with anyone who hasn't know the love of the Father. Quite honestly I think I'm probably stumbling along in this first phases of walking a deeper place of faith with deeds. But I'm trying and learning that the more I press into God and allow him to love me, not trying to earn or deserve it enough, but to simply allow the grace I've been given to open my heart and eyes to others and to break and share this amazing love I've so mercifully been blessed to know.

SO, this whole idea started when I was writing. Funny how the words I write are being used back towards me more than ever it seems of late, maybe I should stop writing....haha like that's gonna happen. So I'm sitting in church one night after I'd spoken earlier that day on orphans and Love and faith. Then these words just start to burn in my heart, "I want to be Your love song to the world, I want to bear Your heart in my deeds."

And now, this is what's kind of been 'born' I suppose you could say, in my heart. A desire to truly Bear Love's Heart in this world. It's my hope that the stories and thoughts shared in this blog are just the beginning of something much bigger, beginning with my own life but also in others.


Here's my definition, with some help from a dictionary on the word 'Bear', of what it means to Bear Love's Heart. And yeah, by Love I am referring to God.

To accept showing Love to my world as a responsibility.
To hold in my mind the desires and purposes of Love and communicate that to others.
To conduct and carry my self in accordance to Love.
To move and follow where Love leads.
To show Love not just through words, but by making professed faith in Love shown through actions.
To support and transport is one definition of the word 'bear', the goal is to support and transport Love through out my life.
To know Love's heart and continually strive to go deeper in my relationship with Him, to share what I've been given with the world, believing that God is love, the only source of love and to know Him is to know love.

To bear Love's heart is, in essence, to chase the heart of God and share what he shows and gives to our world through word and deed, to live our lives striving to be the reflection of Christ' light in our world. To show love and hope we can all have through the sacrifice of Christ to every person, rich and poor, young and old, local and foreign.


I challenge and encourage anyone who reads this blog to just open up your heart to the love of God, and let him reign fully there and use our lives to live in and out the love we have from him. It's what I've found I'm here for and know it's what we are all created for, to live a life in this imperfect world consumed by the perfect, unconditional love of our God, and to really live in a way that shows that love in all that we do.

Love.
