How The Heart Of God Looks Like

Title: The Heart of God

Scripture: Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)

Devotional

Have you ever wondered what's on God's heart? What does He care about most? The Bible gives us a glimpse into God's heart, revealing His deepest desires and passions.

One of the most profound aspects of God's heart is His love for humanity. He created us in His image, and despite our rebellion, He still desires a relationship with us. In Jeremiah 29:11, God declares that He has plans to prosper us, give us hope, and provide a future.

Here are some key aspects of God's heart:

1. _Love_: God's heart beats with love for us. He demonstrated this love through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus.

2. _Compassion_: God's heart is filled with compassion for the hurting, the lost, and the broken.

3. _Justice_: God's heart demands justice, and He will one day right all wrongs.

4. _Mercy_: God's heart is merciful, offering forgiveness and restoration to those who repent.

Prayer
