A Given Heart

Tonight I
came home with my family after giving the messages for
today's Encounter Services. Sunday night after
encounter is our family's 'late night', since we get
home after we'd normally be in bed. And tonight Gracie,
shared a snack time together before bed. Sitting at the
breakfast table together while Mommy was bathing
brother Asa, Gracie and I talked about her week at Pop
and Grammy's house. I told her how much I missed her
while she was gone, and we got into a conversation
about what makes our hearts dance. She told me, 'You
can have my heart and I can have Your heart." I
rejoiced and shared how precious that was to me. My
father heart was ravished. Then an even greater love
was expressed as she declared, "You can have my heart,
I don't love my heart, because I want Your heart."
And that's wisdom from an almost 3 year old. If we only had such a revelation of the Father heart of God, we could declare "Abba, You can have my heart, I don't love my heart, because I want Your heart." That's the free devotion of a child. And I tell you, it grasps the heart of the Father.
