Book Description
Christians know that God loves them, but can easily feel that he is perpetually disappointed and frustrated, maybe even close to giving up on them. As a result, they focus a lot—and rightly so—on what Jesus has done to appease God’s wrath for sin. But how does Jesus Christ actually feel about his people amid all their sins and failures? This book draws us to Matthew 11, where Jesus describes himself as “gentle and lowly in heart,” longing for his people to find rest in him. The gospel flows from God’s deepest heart for his people, a heart of tender love for the sinful and suffering. These chapters take readers into the depths of Christ’s very heart for sinners, diving deep into Bible passages that speak of who Christ is and encouraging readers with the affections of Christ for his people. His longing heart for sinners comforts and sustains readers in their up-and-down lives.

Book Description
The gracious disposition and tender affection of Christ in his human nature now in glory, unto his members under all sorts of infirmities, either of sin or misery."Though Christ is now in glory, do not let that discourage you, for he has the heart of a husband towards you, being betrothed to you forever in faithfulness and in loving-kindness. ?Take this as one incentive to obedience: that if he retained the same heart of mercy towards you which he had here on earth, then to answer his love, endeavor to have the same heart towards him on earth which you hope to have in heaven."Having set forth our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in all those great and most solemn actions of his-his obedience unto death, his resurrection, ascension into heaven, his sitting at God's right hand, and intercession for us, which of all the other has been more largely insisted on-I shall now annex (as next in order, and homogeneal thereunto) this discourse that follows, which lays open the heart of Christ, as now he is in heaven, sitting at God's right hand and interceding for us; how it is affected and graciously disposed towards sinners on earth that do come to him; how willing to receive them; how ready to entertain them; how tender to pity them in all their infirmities, both sins and miseries. The scope and use whereof will be this, to hearten and encourage believers to come more boldly unto the throne of grace, unto such a Saviour and High Priest, when they shall know how sweetly and tenderly his heart, though he is now in his glory, is inclined towards them; and so to remove that great stone of stumbling which we meet with (and yet lies unseen) in the thoughts of men in the way to faith...

Jesus In My Heart

Pages : 68
Book Description
This book is written for everyone that isn't perfect but perfectly made in God's image with human weaknesses, which Father God will use for his glory. It has been a labor of love to share my stories from Jesus in my heart, knowing full well that Father God gave his only Son Jesus to every person who needs to be rescued from the old self to become a new creature in Christ. Many of us feel all alone with our challenges in life, yet we are not alone because God gave us Jesus who knows our pain and suffering since he died with all of our messes upon the cross to set us free. When Father God received his Son back to him in heaven, his work was complete as it is done in us. No one can undo what our Father has already done through Jesus. I fervently hope my testimonies in this book will serve to inspire each reader in a special way as the good Lord touches and encourages hearts to persevere in his plan for every precious person created to serve him in this world. "Blessed are those whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the one whose sin the Lord will never count against them." (Romans 4:7""8) Everyone has a story to share because we all have fallen short of God's glory, yet we will have victory in every story we tell through our Father's gracious love with Jesus in our heart.
