Hearts Desire Ministry is about investing into God's Kingdom by sharing gifts of comfort, hope, faith, and love. My prayer is that the Lord would use my testimony to bring salvation, and to turn hearts back to the Father, and be able to heal many broken hearts.
“Blessed be the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as we share abundantly in Christ’s sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too. If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which you experience when you patiently endure the same sufferings that we suffer. Our hope for you is unshaken, for we know that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in our comfort.”
2 Corinthians 1:3-7 ESV
- We are to encourage one another by standing firm in our faith, knowing that the same kind of sufferings are being experienced throughout the world. Helping us hold onto hope and remembering that we have access to an open heaven through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. We are not alone in this journey so let us not be shaken, because a believers grief also includes hope.
- We are to give comfort. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. God sees you, He hears you, and He has not forgotten you. God is here for all of us. He is the God of all comfort, and when we come near to him, He always comes near to us.
- We are to be active in sharing our faith. Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. So, we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. We have to live by faith and not by sight. Jesus himself was raised from the dead and now lives again forever. I have great faith that my children and loved ones are truly alive with Jesus, and I too will go to them one day soon. I know that a place is prepared in heaven for all those who believe.
- Now the greatest of these is love. Love is what keeps us alive. Love gives us a reason to be. Love gives us strength and love is why we cry. God loves us so much He chose to die in our place so that we wouldn’t have to. He made a way for us to be in Heaven with Him, all because of love.
“Blessed be the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as we share abundantly in Christ’s sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too. If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which you experience when you patiently endure the same sufferings that we suffer. Our hope for you is unshaken, for we know that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in our comfort.”
