TOUCHING THE HEART OF GOD

“And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: And lo, a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

Matthew 3: 16, 17 King James Version

I recently sent out an email to everyone on my mailing list asking for their children’s birthdays. I have received more responses from that email than any other email I have ever sent to them. A lot of them included things about their children and said wonderful things about them.

Just as it touched the hearts of these parents to talk about their children and have their children recognized, how much more it touches the Heart of God when His Son, Jesus, is recognized. When we praise Jesus, it makes God happy. When we acknowledge the Birthday of Jesus, God rejoices.

It hurts parents when their children are ignored. It even hurts me when my parakeet, Baby, is ignored because God has given her to me and she is my child. How we must hurt God when we ignore Jesus! God has feelings or He would never have sent His Beloved Son to die for us. None of us have even a glimpse of the pain and sorrow God experienced when His Son died on that cruel Cross.

We need to start acknowledging Jesus in our daily activities. Our mission every day should be to make Him happy. May God forgive us for hurting Jesus!
