God’s Heart for You... Consider this thrilling account in Genesis 1: 27-28: “God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. God blessed them…” He blessed them! The moment Adam and Eve opened their eyes, their Creator blessed them. That action forever carries astounding implications for mankind. The heart of our Creator is to bless you. Dead religion presents a freakish caricature, a pseudo-god who is reluctant to bless his creatures unless they toe the line of impeccable moral behavior and tireless service to him. But the authentic God of the Bible blessed Adam and Eve immediately— before they worshipped, before they served, before they prayed, before they displayed any kind of action at all. This first divine act toward humanity tells us so very much about Him. Love always takes the initiative without waiting to see what its recipient will do first. From the instant of mankind’s creation, our God’s blessings didn’t depend on human service toward Him. God’s grace certainly motivates us to honor Him with acts of service, but His blessings are not the slightest bit contingent on our service to Him.
