God's Number one interest is PEOPLE!!!
No matter what failures, shortcomings, sins they may carry... They are people just like you, and if you want to truly know the Father, and have His heart, you will get out and reach out to people with love!
Too many of us spend our time shut up in a room "studying" and "fellowshipping" with the Father, I am not negating those things by any means! BUT, if you want to truly and honestly get in tune with the Father's heart... You will do as he did! You will reach out and touch lives with love! I hear of many not wanting to associate with sinners or people on a lesser spiritual plane than themselves, what immature thinking that is indeed!!! God sent His son down to the earth... He walked among sinners, unrighteous wretches, and the like... And yet, he never stuck his nose up in the air because he was Holy, he never shut himself away all day long to spend time with His Father, He never chose to avoid those people for fear they would tait his image or reputation... Rather he dined with them, stooped down in the dirt to where they were and touched them with love and compassion, and it was such actions and character that made him stir something within the hearts of men and women that he came in contact with! Something that ignited a passion for change!
You want to know God's heart???
You want to turn your world upside down???
You want to start a revival that can't be stopped???
Then reach out and touch the lives of people by giving them your time! Reach out to them with love and compassion! Allow the Holy Spirit to correct and change their lifestyle, not your condemnation and judgement!
You want to really know God's heart? Look into the eyes of the next drug addict, alcoholic, or girl on the corner you see... Look deep into their eyes and see the hopelessness, hurt, pain, lack of self-worth... And then feel the compassion rise up inside of you wanting to take away that hurt... In that moment, you have found the heart of God!
