a heart after His...

i received this in my inbox this morning from someone who really cares about me, and who was thoughtful and sweet enough to pass it along. this is definitely something the Lord has been working on with me and it hit something within me...i can only hope it helps another...


Few people ever dare to go after God with all of there heart, soul, mind and strength.
I think they know he is worth it.
They know he can do it.
But somehow they don't believe they have what it takes.
The cost to my family,my spouse, my children and my pride are just to much to risk.
This fear of failure keeps the vast majority of churches full and the world still in darkness.
The interesting thing here is this.
It is not failure which keeps us from being and having all God has promised.
It is the fear.
Which causes more anguish?
Being alone or the fear of being alone?
Which causes more heart ache?
Not experiencing love or the fear of never experiencing love?
Which causes more suffering?
Going to hell or the thought that you or someone you care about might?
Which bothers you the most?
Being needed by others or not being needed by others?
The reality is this: "Perfect love cast out all fear."
Therefore, stop for a moment, look at the face of God, look deep into his eyes and notice what he is looking at.
See the peace, the joy, the kind _expression of his love.
Now look at him the same way he is looking at you.
Now feel what you see.
And realize all this time he has been looking at you!
He sees what you see.
Do you see what he sees?
He sees the truth and he believes it.
How about you?
He is having so much fun being him.
Are you having as much fun being you?
Twins, are you not?
