The Fathers Heart

It's the end of another week... an incredible week I must add. This week our topic was Father Heart of God. Can I just say my heavenly FATHER is AMAZING!!! Since I have started DTS I have started realizing more and more that Jesus is my Father, Hes not just the Jesus that loves me and died for me and is Holy and Magnificent. Don't get me wrong He's all of those things but above all He is our Father He is my Father. I am His daughter whom He delights in, I'm not just one of His followers "A Christian" but I am His daughter. This hit me really hard, above all else I am His daughter. I have always been told this but I finally had a heart revelation of how precious I was to the Father.

Last night we had an epic time of Evangelism. I shall share this awesome story with you all: My friend Tori and I had just finished praying for God asking for His Holy Spirit to lead and guide us when we decided to find a toilet. Now we found a toilet, but one of those public sensor toilets where you touch a button for it to open and close the door and another button for it to flush the toilet and so on. Anyways, Tori had already gone into one and I was trying to figure out how the door locked and I was super confused by the sensors and as I was trying to figure it out that the door shut and locked me out. It was now locked and wouldn't open for another ten minutes because it thought someone was in there. Now as I was super confused this lady was laughing at me and in total agreement with me that these sensor toilets weren't very convenient at all. So we started talking and Tori came out of the other toilet and the lady and I took turns using that toilet. Then after that incident  she started asking us where we were from what we were doing... so we starting sharing with her about ywam and Jesus. About an 40 minutes into our conversation two other girls from ywam walked past so we invited them to sit down and then for the next two hours we listened to her story and shared with her our testimonies and prayed with her. She was really open to hearing about Jesus and was so touched with the fact that we cared so much. She said that nobody had said such nice things about her in such a long time and was very touched by what we had to say. She couldn't believe our timing! It was totally God's timing!!!! We also prayed for her hearing in one ear which she said she has always found it hard to hear out of that ear and she said she could hear much better than she did before! PRAISE the LORD!

Nothing else to exciting has happened this week!

Thought I would take a second to acknowledge these cool cats... From Monday to Thursday 3:30-5:30 I wash widows with them. They make washing windows so much fun!

The Father Heart of God. Man on man what a powerful topic. If we know that Fathers heart for us and if we truly grasp that everything the Father does for us is out of love and compassion for his sons and daughters then we would truly have nothing to fear. I have been struggling with the verse "Perfect love drives out fear" 1 John 4:18 because I knew God was perfect love so why was I feeling fearful? But this week my head knowledge really became heart knowledge. I love this song its called Good good Father - It talks about how God is a good good Father, that is who HE IS. And we are loved by Him, that's who WE ARE. I found myself getting so caught up in what others thought of me and finding my identity in that rather than looking to my Heavenly Father. I am loved by Him that is who I am. Ahhh what? What gets me the most is that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. Nothing we could do could make Him love us more and there is nothing we could do that could make Him love us less. His love is constant, never changing, never failing, long suffering, patient, gracious, deeper and more genuine than any persons love could ever be. My favorite verse of the week was Psalm 37:23-24 The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand.
