When we feel hopeless,

If we drift into discouragement,

When something drops seemingly out of no where into our

And we’re afflicted in the moment,

Those times when suddenly we’re unable to see the light,

We can hear God’s Spirit speaking through Jeremiah, the prophet,

As he wrote,

“blessed are those who trust in the Lord

Favored are those who’ve made the Lord their hope and confidence.

They are like trees planted along a riverbank,

Their roots reach deep into the water.

Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought.

Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit.”

Jeremiah 17:7-8

As God’s inspired poet recorded:

“weeping may last for the night, but a shout of joy comes in the morning”

Psalm 30:5

David was a “man after God’s own heart”

Acts 13:22

To be a person whose after God’s own heart means we keep our eyes on the Lord

To be a person whose after God’s own heart means our heart beats to God’s heart

We want to be like John who laid on Jesus chest to affectionately

To hear His perfect heart beating with love for every person

To be a person whose after God’s own heart means we will do what God tells us to do for Him
