About the touch of God upon your heart…
John 16:19 `In a little while you will see me no more,
and then after a little while you will see me'? 20 I tell you the truth, you will weep and
mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy. (NIV)
We sometimes want to run away. We sometimes do run away. Our
lives are sometimes filled with events that break our heart. Sometimes we must live with
the pain of heartbreaking events until we die. However, in spite of the darkest moments of
your life, God reaches down and touches your heart if you are willing to receive His
touch. When God touches your heart, the most brutal of moments is eased and His great love
brings you into a loving oneness with Him. When your heart yearns for solace and relief
from the many heartbreaks of living, God sparks His divine will within you and you can see
His great Promised Land just ahead. Then, in His great Promised Land, you see Him. When it
seems we have nowhere to turn and no one to listen to us, we suddenly bump into Christ who
brings joy and peace to our hearts. It is a mystery how God can turn the sadness of your
heart into joyful hope. It is a mystery how God can bring you hope and peace in the
grimmest of circumstances. Because you live with His great mysterious workings does not
mean these workings are not real in your heart. For if you would just open the door of
your heart a little, you may then peer outside and see Christ standing there, and you will
hear Him call your name. For if you would just open the door of your heart a little, your
heart will be touched and your life will be flooded with His love, mercy, compassion and
grace.
