God is on the move, Little Heart. I see it as clearly as I see my hands type these words. He is on the move, stirring up and calling forth, remaking and renewing, bringing light and wholeness to every dark, broken place.
He knows the hearts he has created. He knows your heart. He stirs forth to draw you close to himself. He desires to be near to us, not distant or far off, so he comes close to us, even when we are unaware, even when we turn away.
He loves us to the deepest depths, even the ones we refuse to see. He hears our soul’s deepest cries. He fills its deepest longings. Though physics says all things move toward chaos, God’s action goes against the grain and builds up, restores, makes new. God’s law is one of true love—love that is kind and patient, yes, but love that is strong, love that endures, even to the end. His is a love that is deep, and abides in the deepest part of the heart; a love that stands in courage, does not flee, does not run, is not dissuaded from its holy purpose.
God’s love is free but it requires everything. He does not desire lip service while the heart remains far away. He does not desire idle praise, nor actions—no matter how good—if they do not flow from a heart that trusts his ways.
He wants your trust. Put God’s love to the test. If you doubt, tell him why and let him show up for you. If you are uncertain of his fidelity, give him your worries and watch him come through. He will move. He will act, but sometimes in ways you’d least expect.
God is good, Little Heart. Let him show you the ways.
