What does God find in your heart?

“…And someday I’ll start a facility for women with eating disorders.” Oops. Saying that sentence out loud—and on camera—was something I hadn’t intended to do.

But, the Bible explains exactly why this happened to me at that moment. It says “…For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.” (Matthew 12:34 NIV). 

In my heart I had already thought very often about how nice it would be to help women through such an institution.

Of course, doubts immediately arose, “What will people say now?” I was just 24 years old at that time and could barely pay my own rent. Such a project was way out of my league.

But God saw my heart. He saw into my heart. And that’s what you need to understand today, *|FNAME|*. I serve a God “…  who sees me…” (Genesis 16:13 NIV).

He doesn’t look at you and think, “Can build a facility for women with eating disorders with these looks? Can I trust with this?” Instead, He looks right into your heart and then asks the question, “What is motivation? Is doing this out of love for Me or for the approval of people?”

Your true motivation makes a difference in God’s sight.

The WONDERFUL happens when God sees LOVE in your heart!

You surely remember the story of when the prophet Samuel was looking for a new king to take over from Saul. The first man Samuel met was the eldest son of Jesse, named Eliab. Samuel saw him as  “visually suitable” to be a king. 

Then God said: “But the Lord said to Samuel, ‘Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.’” (1 Samuel 16:7 NIV)

It was not until Samuel met the youngest son of Jesse—David—that he knew. “But now your kingdom [Saul’s] will not endure; the Lord has sought out a man after his own heart and appointed him ruler of his people, because you have not kept the Lord ’s command.” (1 Samuel 13:14 NIV)

God sees you. And He is pleased when He sees a dream in your heart that will bring Him pleasure too! 

For God, it doesn’t matter if you have the financial means, the looks, even the ability. For remember, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” (Matthew 19:26 NIV)

That leaves me with only one question to ask: “What will God find in YOUR heart?”

You are a miracle!

    Good morning
    Did you ever start a facility? I am 71 and would like to have a Christian non-denominational full education campus started in the town closest to me. I hope God sees that it is really needed in our area. I am terrified that I am too old. But, I keep praying about it and I don’t want to run it. Just raise all the money and get people on board that can provide a better education for children from daycare age to senior year education with the opportunity to be raised in a Christian principal environment. What do you think?

    My heart longs to have peace of mind and joy returned…and enjoying my life with my husband for the rest of our lives. To help others every day and know what my purpose is for
    Jesus’ kingdom…for physical healing for my husband and I ..and for our daughter to be close to us again we’ve not seen since July and her salvation in Jesus’ Most Holy name I humbly pray through the power of the Holy Spirit.
