“… Do you love Me? And he said to Him, “Lord You know all things, You know that I love You.” Jesus said to Him, Feed my sheep.”
John 21:17
As you seek out the heart of God in prayer, what begins to happen in your heart is that His passions become yours, people. Jesus demonstrated this while He walked the earth. The heart of the Father was on display through His Son, and Jesus lived His life serving and loving people.
Gods heart has always been about people. He came to the earth for people. He laid His life down for people. The greatest love story of all time, the cross, has always been about people. Connecting with God in prayer changes us and the more you see life through His eyes, your desire to love others the way that He loves people becomes your passion!
Over the years, I have found great joy as I have connected with His heart in intercession and praying for others. Jesus said that the expression of our love for Him would be displayed in feeding His sheep. Loving people, sharing joy, praying for and serving others, releasing His peace, and sharing what He has given to us, all of these are examples of feeding His sheep and brings great joy to the heart of our Father! As you seek the Lord and He fills your cup to overflowing, I want to encourage you to share what He has given to you with others. The Father will reward you with the greatest gift that we could ever receive… His presence.
