When I was in grade school, my all time favorite place to go was a place called The Franklin Institute located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. My school took us just about every year and although I very rarely had money for a penny from the penny maker or one of those huge lollipops with all the colors, my twin sister and I always managed to have the best time we could. There was one exhibit that made that trip special to me and that was the larger than life sized heart. I mean this heart was huge. We would walk through the heart, travel up the steps to the top portion of the heart, and we would even get to hear the heart beating. It had to have had surround sound in there because it was loud and intense. I remember seeing the veins and I remember being surprised that the human heart wasn’t shaped at all how I envisioned. I know I wasn’t the only person who thought the human heart looked like the heart lollipop in those Valentine’s Day cards we used to get from classmates…
Well since grade school I’ve found myself inside one of the biggest hearts I’ve ever encountered. No…I haven’t always been inside the heart of God, but now that I’m in…I’M IN!!!!!! Even before I knew Christ, I had some inkling that He thought about me here and there, but being in His heart is totally different. From inside this sacred place…Not secret….but sacred…I’ve experienced a level of love that I will never be able to put into words. I feel like that little grade-schooler running around exploring the height, width and depth of our Father’s heart. Even those times when I can’t see, I find myself opening up the Word of God which illuminates my next steps in Him..
His love is unending!!!
I’M IN!!!!!!
