Harmony of My Heart
The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness. Jeremiah 31:3
There is nothing more pleasing to my ears than the sounds of beautiful music. Seldom do we hear that perfect blend that simply melts our hearts. Our loving Lord can make that happen just like He did when He called us out of darkness. He sang and the angels harmonized. (Well, at least that is what I’d like to think.)
Harmony is not always about music. It can also be used when discussing peace. Both of which are vitally important in our world today. I love it when God puts a song in my heart! His everlasting love is sure and pure. It’s a promise He gave and all we must do is remember the words and sing His Love song!
Sarah Young has written a prayerful devotion (Jesus Listens) that says it all.

Compassionate Lord,
You tell me in Your Word: “I have loved you with an everlasting Love, I have drawn you with loving-kindness.” This means that you knew me and loved me before time began! Yet for years I swam around in a sea of meaninglessness—searching for Love, hoping for Hope. All that time, You were pursuing me, ready to embrace me in Your compassionate arms.
When the time was right, You revealed Yourself to me. You lifted me out of that sea of despair and set me down on a firm foundation. Sometimes I felt naked—exposed to the revealing Light of Your Presence. So, You wrapped an ermine robe around me, a robe of righteousness. You sang me a Love song whose beginning and end are veiled in eternity. You infused meaning into my mind and harmony into my heart. I want to join You in singing Your song. Please use my voice in whatever way You will, as You call people out of the darkness into Your marvelous Light.
In Your brilliant Name, Jesus, AMEN.
