Behold,
you delight in truth
in the inward being,
and you teach me
wisdom
in the secret heart.
Psalms 51:6 ESV
Truth & wisdom at our very core.
It's hard enough to get to our heart, the secret heart.
There's so much noise, distraction, pressure to "do", achieve...become
The psalmist is sharing God's heart for us here...He wants wisdom at our core. Wisdom will help us make decisions, choices, behave, react, respond.
Wisdom from the heart of God, in our hearts.
And truth.
Often there seems to be a mix.
Truth
And things that are not quite truth.
Sometimes we call those lies
Those words that pop into our minds that tell us about God and ourselves, but they don't quite line up with what God has revealed about himself, or just how much he loves us.
Chosen
Accepted
Forgiven
Adopted
Loved
In those truths there is room to get it wrong, to make mistakes, to not be perfect
There is room to grow
To be changed
Love does that
When you let God's love flood in to your core,
your secret heart.
Give Him room today

...four men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They couldn't bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, so they dug a hole through the roof above his head. Then they lowered the man on his mat, right down in front of Jesus... Mark 2:3-4 NLT Great account of inventiveness and determination to get their friend to see Jesus. Love this. Do you wonder about the back story? Are these the same 4 people who bring this man food? Take him to the toilet every day. Clean him up. Does he live with one of them? Are they family? Are there whole families or groups of people in the background who have supported and cared for this man? A group of children who grew up seeing their parents love in action? Probably. Healing Help Hope These things are found in community. These 4 guys are the heroes here. The upfront people. One day it will be interesting to see who the background heroes are. #loveinaction #community #inthistogether #walkingeachotherhome #gospelofmark
