Summary

One of the greatest privileges as a child of God is that we can have the heart of our heavenly Father. We don’t have to wonder how he feels about us. We don’t have to wonder if he will guide us. We don’t have to question whether he loves us or cares about us. Through the Holy Spirit we have continual, free access to the heart of God. May your relationship with God go deeper and become freer as you build trust and learn how to have God’s heart this week.

Our Scripture for today comes from Psalm 46:10, and today's worship is Good To Me by First15 Worship feat. Taylor Zebracki.

0:00.0	One of our greatest privileges as a child of God is that we can have the heart of our heavenly
0:10.8	Father. We don't have to wonder how He feels about us. We don't have to wonder if you
0:16.5	will guide us. We don't have to question whether He loves us or cares about us. Through
0:21.6	the Holy Spirit we have continual free access to the heart of God. May your relationship
0:27.1	of God go deeper and become freer as we learn how to have God's heart this week. Welcome
0:33.5	to the first 15 podcast. God longs to be known by you. He longs for you to make time to
0:44.9	simply seek His face and get to know His personality, the nature of His love, and the
0:50.5	availability of His presence. You don't have to live without a real, revelatory knowledge
0:56.7	of God's heart. You don't have to live with the uncertainty of whether you are cared
1:01.3	for, provided for, and loved. In the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, God proved
1:08.9	His longing to be known by us. Jesus took on flesh not just so He could save and redeem
1:16.0	us, but He could usher in a better, true revelation of who the Father is. In John 173,
1:24.1	Jesus says, now this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, in Jesus Christ
1:31.2	whom you have sent. And later in verse 26, Jesus prays to the Father, I have made you
1:36.9	known to them and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for
1:42.6	me may be in them and that I myself may be in them. Jesus came that we might know the
1:49.5	love of the Father. He came that we might have communion, unhindered relationship with
1:55.2	our Creator. Through Jesus, you've been granted eternal, real access to your heavenly
2:00.6	Father. And in the Holy Spirit, you can search the deep places of God's heart and grow
2:06.0	and restored relationship with Him. Verse Corinthians 2 10-12 says, for the Spirit searches
2:13.1	everything, even the depths of God, for who knows a person's thoughts, except the spirit
2:18.9	of that person, which is in Him. So also, no one comprehends the thoughts of God, except
