The Heart Beat of the Son
"And God spoke to Noah, and to his sons with him saying,
And I behold, I establish my covenant with you, and your seed after you; And with every living creature that is with you, of fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth."
Jesus longs to be in covenant with us. A covenant is intimate, it is by choice and it is life changing. He craves to hear you say "Jesus I long to covenant to you" You are saying that you are desiring to see Him in your life and come and make house in your home and dine at your kitchen table and eat with your children. Can you hear it? The ache and beating in His chest to be with you everyday in every moment.
What does this have to do with Noah? Jesus could of easily found a reason to wipe out the earth and start over and not have man. Noah was still a sinner and could have easily been found guilty of something, to include him in the flood and destruction. But Jesus again affirmed to His Father that He wanted to go and be tortured and beaten and killed for man.
Why? He knew the father's longing to be with His children, He knew it because he was made with the same desire.
You can almost hear the conversation and see Jesus hold back His Father's hand of destruction and say "No, my Father, they don't know how much we love them, they just don't understand how we feel and cry for them daily. If they only knew they would turn to us and let our love heal their wounds. I will go. Look, even if there is one like Noah it is worth my life to love him. "
Can you hear Him now? "No father, _______________ (your name) doesn't know the power of our love for them, But when they do they will say your name and hear your heart beat and will turn and run to your arms."
He is always knocking, always craving and always anticipating your voice to say His name, so He can say yours and you will never be the same again.
-pray for me. Rae.
