In scripture we see how God shows us that when we have a heart of Thanksgiving and we can honor Him with rejoicing and sing praise to Him. We can read our Bible and we can know and begin to understand how God gives us the Heart of Praise but also a heart of worship in order to continue to grow in our relationship and our Faith walk with Him because in this world we may have trouble but take heart for God has Overcome the World. Our God loves us so unconditionally that He gave His One and Only Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.
Do you know that God has so much love to give us because He is Love? We have a heart of Adoration, a heart of Gratitude, a heart of Compassion, but we also have a heart of Praise.
I want to share some lyrics of a song that says: When the music fades, All is stripped away
And I simply come … Longin' just to bring, Something that's of worth, That will bless Your heart … I'll bring You more than a song, For a song in itself, Is not what You have required … You search much deeper within, Through the ways things appear, You're looking into my heart … I'm comin' back to the heart of worship And it's all about You, It's all about You, Jesus … I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it, When it's all about You, It's all about You, Jesus … King of endless worth, No one could express, How much You deserve? … Though I'm weak and poor, All I have is Yours, Every single breath … I'll bring You more than a song, For a song in itself Is not what You have required … You search much deeper within, Through the way things appear, You're looking into my heart, yeah, … I'm comin' back to the heart of worship And it's all about You, It's all about You, Jesus. We see in this song that we come back to the heart of worship, and if we are coming back to the heart of worship where it's all about Our Savior Jesus Christ, then that is mainly saying we are coming back to a heart of praise and that our hearts filled with that praise, and that joy can be given to us by those He loves and are called according to His Purpose. You see we are all deeply loved by God and we are all called according to His Purpose. No matter what we do in this life, we know that God is making all things new to show us how we can own our Belovedness in Him.
That brings me to the other song I want to share with all of you tonight and that song is Belovedness by Sarah Kroger where the lyrics of her song say: You've owned your fear and all your self-loathing
You've owned the voices inside of your head
You've owned the shame and reproach of your failure
It's time to own your belovedness
You've owned your past and how it's defined you
You've owned everything everybody else says
It's time to hear what your father has spoken
It's time to own your belovedness
He says, "You're mine, I smiled when I made you
I find you beautiful in every way
My love for you is fierce and unending
I'll come to find you, whatever it takes
My beloved"
You've owned the mess you see in the mirror
You've owned the lies that you're just not enough
You've been so blinded by all you're comparing
It's time to own your belovedness
He says, "You're mine, I smiled when I made you
I find you beautiful in every way
My love for you is fierce and unending
I'll come to find you, whatever it takes
My beloved"
You are completely loved and fully known
Beloved, believe he died to make your heart his home
And he says, "You're mine, I smiled when I made you
I find you beautiful in every way
My love for you is fierce and unending
I'll come to find you, whatever it takes"
He says, "You're mine, I smiled when I made you
I find you beautiful in every way
My love for you is fierce and unending
I'll come to find you, whatever it takes
My beloved"
It's time to own your belovedness
With this song we see how God does not give us a spirit of fear but can give us a sound mind.
We know that with God, He can turn the impossible into all things possible.
We just need to keep trusting the Heart of God and sing our praises to Him, pray to Him, and walk by Faith with an open Heart and Mind to know that He works all things together for not only our good by For His Glory as well.
We know that no weapon formed against us shall prosper and the enemy can't win and take the joy we have in our hearts away, as long as we have God to fight our battles and as long as we have God to help us achieve amazing things because with God, we can do all things through Him that gives us the strength and the courage to do those things. Without God, and without Heart, we have nothing.
The emptiness that we feel would be disatreous and we feel lonesome, because the enemy robbed of us of our joy and happiness and showed us that there wasn't hope or light, except for darkness and sadness. See with God He lights the way through the darkness, He gives us Hope in our hearts to be happy, not to be sad because He turns our sadness into gladness and our joy can't be robbed if God is fighting every step of the way so the enemy won't win. Our hearts of what we see sometimes can be hard but we know that God will overcome every step and every direction to know and to see that God is with us daily.
If we let the enemy win, our hearts become broken. Our hearts are filled with despair and anguish. Our hearts our filled with anger, and our hearts our filled with no hope.
Although if we changed all of that, we could see that God mends our hearts that were once broken, He turns that despair into pure joy that is given to us by Him our Father in Heaven, we don't have anguish or worry, our hearts are with gladness and not angered, and we have Hope in God.
Take time to realize that God is with all of us tonight and forever in our Hearts. Take time to realize that God isn't going anywhere and that we can make a difference for the Heart of God by sharing a Heart Of Praise and Worship.
God sees Hearts as We see Faces.
Happy moments Praise God.
Difficult moments Seek God.
Quiet moments Worship God.
Painful moments Trust God.
Every moment Thank God.
Praise God With Your Whole Heart.
Time Is The Brush Of God, As He Paints His MasterPiece On The Heart Of Humanity.
A Heart In Tune With God Sings Melodies Of Praise.

We see here in everything that when we truly give The Heart of Praise to Him that we can become one in Him and through Him to see that He's working in our Heart to open up amazing things that He has planned for us.
Jeremiah 29 verse 11 reminds us of that when it says: For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you but to give you a hope and a future.
Let the King of my heart
Be the mountain where I run
The fountain I drink from
Oh, He is my song
Let the King of my heart
Be the shadow where I hide
The ransom for my life
Oh, He is my song
'Cause You are good
You are good, oh oh
You are good
You are good, oh oh
You are good
You are good, oh oh
You are good
You are good, oh oh
And let the King of my heart
Be the wind inside my sails
The anchor in the waves
Oh oh, He is my song
Let the King of my heart
Be the fire inside my veins
The echo of my days
Oh oh, He is my song
Let the King of my heart
Be the wind inside my sails
The anchor in the waves
Oh oh, He is my song
Let the King of my heart
Be the fire inside my veins
The echo of my days
Oh, He is my song
'Cause You are good
You are good, oh oh
You are good
You are good, oh oh
You are good
You are good, oh oh
You are good

'Cause You are good
You are good, oh oh

You are good, oh oh
We see with this song that when we sing it, we have a heart filled with Gratitude and Praise because we are singing praises to the one who is King of Our Hearts.
We can see that God loves us so much that He would give us all that we need in order to live not by bread alone but by Faith alone, cause we do not walk by sight but by Faith.
We thank God everyday for how He continues to work in us and how He continues to work in our Hearts, to show us that we are all a work in progress. Our testimonies and the testimonies of our Hearts filled with Praise are not over. No, our testimony of our Heart has just begun.
Let us see where God takes us in this Heart Journey of Faith. Let us see where He takes us in The Heart of Our Relationship with Him, and see where the road leads.
Here's my heart Lord
Here's my heart Lord
Here's my heart Lord
Speak what is true
Here's my heart Lord
Here's my heart Lord
Here's my heart Lord
Speak what is true
I am found, I am Yours
I am loved, I'm made pure
I have life, I can breathe
I am healed, I am free
Here's my heart Lord
Here's my heart Lord
Here's my heart Lord
Speak what is true
'Cause I am found, I am Yours
I am loved, I'm made pure

In this we know that our Hearts are healed by the blood of the Lamb, that we can breathe in knowing we are made pure and that our hearts full of praise our Purified in Christ. We know that God won't let us down, He's with us.
He is in this place with us and He's working all things new.
Search my heart
And search my soul
There's nothing else
That I want more
Shine Your light
And show Your face
In my life
Lord have Your way
With all my heart and all my soul
With all I am, Lord, I will follow You
Hear my cry
And hear my prayer
Draw me close
I know your near
So with all my heart and all my soul
With all I am, Lord, I will follow You
You took the cross, You took my shame
Restored my life, now I live to worship You
Let us remember this: God is our Redeemer and He is the King of Kings but He is also the King of Our Hearts who loves because He is Love and there's no greater Love than this and the love that one would lay down His life for a friend. So give it all to God, give your Hearts to God tonight and remember that He is in this place with us.
I need you to soften my heart
And break me apart
I need you to open my eyes
To see that You're shaping my life
All I am, I surrender
Give me faith to trust what you say
That you're good and your love is great
I'm broken inside, I give you my life
I need you to soften my heart
And break me apart
I need you to pierce through the dark
And cleanse every part of me
