Seeking The Heart And Face
So many times we ask God for things, and so many times God answers. Sometimes not the way we want to hear it, but nonetheless, He always answers.  God loves to give good gifts to His children, but you know what God really wants? Is for us to KNOW HIM!!!  How do you get to know someone? Let me set an example. If we just seek the HAND of God, then we will  not even know Him when He does move, or when we see Him. You may say that is absurd. Allow me to show you HOW you begin to KNOW God, or anyone for that matter. Lets say that you and I work in a company together. There are borders (cubicles) between us, and we have never seen one anothers face, only our hands are extended at the ends of our tables, and that is all we can see of one another. Let's say we are not allowed to talk, only work. Keep in mind, all we can see is each others HANDS! We may even pass one another parts from around our cubicle, using our hands.  We never see one anothers face. Now if I saw you in a grocery store, or shopping mall, I would  not know you, nor you I.  Because I haven't saw your face, and that is how we recognize one another, by the face. If I see your face and usually it only takes one  time, and I would recognize your face if I saw you again. And the more I saw you, the more I would know you, notice features, and learn you. It is the same with God . We can't literally see His face, but we seek His face, (meaning we take time to learn  who He is, His character, His features, until He is no longer a stranger, and we KNOW Him, instead of just knowing what He can do!) Now to seek the heart...When you find someone you like, you look at them, talk to them, and you begin dating, etc. and you learn each others likes, dislikes, you learn what touches their hearts, and you begin to love them, and want to please them, because you have searched  their hearts and become to love them. It is the same with God. We seek His heart, to know the things that are pleasing to Him, how we can please Him, how we can do things that He approves of, and how we learn about His love, is through His heart. If we only seek the HAND of God, then we are robbing ourselves and God, because we are not allowing Him to be who He is in us, and we can't know Him, because we just expect Him to hand everything to us, therefore our faith cannot be built up that way. You want to touch the heart of God, see His FACE and HEART, not just His HAND!!! God Bless, share this with your friends!!!

1 John 4:20...If a man say I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar, for he that loveth not his brother (anyone) whom he hath seen, how can he love God, whom he hath not seen?
 
Is there hatred in your heart towards anyone? Then you MUST get rid of it, learn to love them, or you CANNOT love God, because God is LOVE!!!
