WHAT IS GOD SAYING

“While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.”

Matthew 17:5 KJV

God said that He is well pleased with His beloved Son but what is God saying about us?  Is He saying that He is pleased with us or is He disappointed because of our actions and our words?  When God looks into our heart does He see things that make Him happy or does He see things that hurt Him?

We need to keep our heart in right standing with God so that we don’t hurt Him and break His heart.  If we have unforgiveness, resentment, bitterness, jealousy, hatred or any other thing in our heart that hurts Him, we need to tell Him that we’re sorry we hurt Him and ask Him to forgive us.

If we have repented of our sins, asked God to forgive us and invited Jesus into our heart to be our personal Saviour, God has adopted us into His family.  What a privilege it is to be adopted by God and to be a part of His family.  I love my Heavenly Father so much and I am so glad that He adopted me.

Heavenly Father, please search my heart and if there is anything in my heart that hurts You and breaks Your heart, I’m sorry.  I pray that we will do things and say words that make You happy instead of doing things and saying words that hurt You and break Your heart.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
