His Word Today: Engraved

Good morning everyone,

Today, the prophet Jeremiah assures us that the Lord will place his law within us, and write it on our hearts (Jer 31:33).  What would our hearts be like if God were not part of our lives?  Would they be lacking in form - not physical form but rather the form that comes from knowing that we are deeply and intentionally loved?

Our God loves us so deeply that he has constantly been at work, placing his law - the law of love - within us, inscribing it on our hearts.  When we take the time to step away from our busy lives and to allow ourselves to marvel in the presence of God, we get a glimpse of the love that He has engraved within our very beings.

Even in the absence of words, if we spend time in silence and contemplation of this truth, the Lord will reveal some wonderful realities to us.  Dare today to stop long enough to feel the heat of the sun on your face or to notice the gentle breeze that tickles your skin.  Give thanks today for the marvellous gifts that our loving creator has prepared for us, revealing such blessings in the depth of our beings.

Have a great day.
