A Heart After God

A heart that looks at God above
Is always filled within
By the purest color of His love
And not by the shallowness of skin.

A heart that dwells with God all day
Has room there for His Word to keep
It always beats in Love to pray
And give to Him all due worship.

A heart that rests in God will be
In comfort filled with inner Peace
Its songs of Joy eternally
Flow from the Presence that is His.

A heart that hopes in God endures
Times of loss, or tears, or strife.
It knows His promises are sure
Here in this world and after life.

"For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you 
and not to harm you; plans to give you a hope and a future. 
Then you will call on me and come and pray to me,and I will listen to you.
You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
(Jeremiah 29: 11-13)
