Meditate =

to mourn by speaking, study, or talkingThere was a magazine that published a photo of an elderly lady with her eardown at the chest of a construction worker, and nothing else about it. After itcame out many people wrote in asking what the photo was all about. In the nextissue there was this explanation.You see the construction worker, after having a long history of heart trouble,had just received a heart transplant, and the elderly lady who had also just losther only son in a tragic accident, was in love listening to the heart beat of her sonin the chest of the construction worker.We also must understand that God the Father who gave his only Son for us,has his head down to our chest listening to hear the heart beat of his Son.Question:What does the heart beat of Jesus sound like?



Evangelism and DiscipleshipDoes your heart beat with Evangelism and Discipleship?Or does it beat a beat of its own?Prayer Time:Dear Lord, please hear my heart and see if in me, is your heart. If not, changethe beat of my heart to match that of yours. Create in me a heart that loves theworld as you love the world.A-men!
