Heart Of Our Savior

I want to share a song called Gracefully Broken by Matt Redman where the lyrics of it say: Take all I have in these hands And multiply, God, all that I am And find my heart on the altar again, Set me on fire, set me on fire, Oh, take all I have in these hands, And multiply, God, all that I am, And find my heart on the altar again, Set me on fire, set me on fire, Here I am, God, Arms wide open, Pouring out my life, Gracefully broken, My heart stands in awe of Your name, Your mighty love stands strong to the end, You will fulfill Your purpose for me, You won't forsake me, You will be with me, Here I am, God, Arms wide open, Pouring out my life, Gracefully broken, Pouring out my life again, Here I am, God, Arms wide open, Pouring out my life, Gracefully broken, Oh, gracefully. The second is a song by Daniel Doss called Stained Glass Windows. The lyrics say: Last week I walked on water, Today I'm sinking low, Can your hand reach down to me and pull me up once more, The dreams I had are shattered, scattered on the floor, The last time you picked up the pieces helped me dream some more, Cause were making stained glass windows, Every piece a different shade, Broken and then put together like a big mistake, But when the light shines through the colors form a tapestry, A hundred different images of how you keep loving me. Each moment you are with me, Each word I hear you say, Help me understand and trust in your higher ways, The road that goes through valleys help me cling to you, And when we find a mountain top we'll dance the whole day through, Cause were making stained glass windows, Every piece a different shade, Broken and then put together like a big mistake, But when the light shines through the colors form a tapestry, A hundred different images of how you keep loving me, I don't know why, I don't know why, You keep loving me. Yeah, yeah, Broken and then put together, Were making stained glass windows, Every piece a different shade, Broken and then put together like a big mistake, Oh and when the light shines through the colors form a tapestry, A hundred different images of how, And when the light shines through the colors form a tapestry, A hundred different images of how you keep loving me. Let these songs be a reminder this week that beyond us feeling broken at times God is using us to form that tapestry to show us how He keeps loving us daily as Beloved Children of Him.

Which brings me to what I want to talk about tonight that continues from what I shared in the beginning of what I wanted to share at the end of last week's study. Tonight I want to continue how Love and Brokenness can be something that leads us to Our Savior. I want to talk about the Love that we feel in our Hearts, where the Brokenness of the Heart can lead us to The Heart of Our Savior where we can see that our scars our made whole, and that the Love we feel is God's Love because God is Love. The brokenness we feel at times can be difficult, it can be scary, but when we are lead to The Heart Of God, Our Savior then we can see how God is giving us what we need, before we ask or think it. Let us look at some scriptures now where it talks about Our Savior, Heart, Love, and Brokenness. The scriptures we are going to look at tonight are: Acts 4 verse 12, 1 John 4 verse 14, 1 John 2 verse 15-17, James 5 verse 14. Psalm 51 verse 10, Matthew 5 verse 18, 1 Samuel 16 verse 12, Psalm 37 verse 4. 1 Corinthians 16 verse 14, John 15 verse 13, John 14 verse 15. Psalm 31 verse 12, and Matthew 11 verses 28-30.

In these scriptures we see how when we have Love that God can mend the Brokenness of our Hearts. We see how Our Savior shows the Love, The Compassion, the timing of knowing we our coming back to the Heart of Our Savior who doesn't let us go, who doesn't let us down, and we are lead back to the Heart of what is known as The Love and The Heart Of God. We are having a time of where we can Worship our Savior with Song, We are having a time where we can pray to our Our Savior. We are even having a time where we can talk with Him to let our Hearts pour out to Our Savior who is with us daily.

Last week we talked about Love and Brokenness, the week before that we talked about many different things that related with the word Love, and many things that were a reflection and reminder of God's unfailing Love and Redeeming Grace. We know that Our Savior is Ruler, King, and that He will continue to do many great things. We know that God is doing a work in our lives for those who Love.

While some things may be similar to what we've learned last week, and the week before that, it's always a great reminder to go over some of these things, as well as know that God is working in our Heart for us to see that He has a purpose and plan in place for everything at anytime for everything we do that is according to His Will, and that is being done in His Glory. We know that God is watching over daily to help us get a better understanding to know how to come back to the Heart Of Our Savior if we are lost.

See we as leaders, followers, Disciples of Christ can be that person that reaches out to those who are lost, hurting, and don't know God at all. We can help them find the Heart Of Our Savior again. We can pray for them, we can pray with them. What happens after that is between them and God. No matter what we face in Life we know everything can lead back to the Heart of God. I want to end on two things. The first thing I would like to share is Zach Williams song The Heart Of God. The lyrics say this: I know you're hurtin', I can see it in your eyes, So pull back the curtain and take off your disguise

Whoever told you, you ain't worth the fight, The cross tells a story that'll change your mind, 'Cause there's only love in the heart of God, No room for shame in His open arms, There's beauty from ashes, so come as you are, And there's only love in the heart of God, Come, prodigal children, it's never too late, Run home to the Father, let Him clothe you with grace, And bury your burdens, break free from your fear, Step out of the shadows, there's no judgment here, There's only love in the heart of God

No room for shame in His open arms, There's beauty from ashes, so come as you are, And there's only love in the heart of God, No, He's not sittin' there shakin' His head, Writin' you off, leavin' you lost

He's not sittin' there shakin' His head, Wishin' He'd never went to that cross, He's not sittin' there shakin' His head, Writin' you off, leavin' you lost, He's not sittin' there shakin' His head, He went to that cross, He went to that cross. We see that God has Love for us so much that He sent His Son to die on that cross so that we could have everlasting life. You have the Savior of the world on your side. If you seek His help and follow His directions, how can you fail? I wanted to end on this quote so that we could be reminded this week about all the things Our Savior does for us, and how much Love there is to give when we seek, and come to the Heart of Our Savior who shows that we can come together in Love.
