“Wow! Have a look at the bottom!” I instructed a pal, as we took a stroll collectively.

Smiling, we soaked in what we noticed: a leaf the form of a coronary heart.
It’s so like God to shock us this fashion. I like it when He reveals up like this.
Has one thing like this ever occurred to you earlier than, expensive pal?
For me? I discover when my coronary heart is ready on God… When I’m speaking about God usually… When I’m excited about Him all through the day… He reveals up like this.
He’ll do little shock landings. I may even see a stick the form of a cross. I could hear somebody say one thing he has whispered to me within the morning whereas I used to be studying my bible. I could encounter a smile that jogs my memory of Jesus. I could look out the window and spot a bumper sticker that conveys one thing He would need me to know.
When my coronary heart purely seeks Him, thinks upon Him, and pursues Him, I appear to get extra of Him. Once I purely need God above all else, I see God throughout my day.
