Adoration begins in the head with a right understanding of God. But all head with no heart presents only half a picture of adoration. Head and heart have to come together.
Our minds are actively engaged in the affairs of the heart. When I think about my husband working until 3:00 a.m. to get this website up-and-running, my heart flip-flops. Wow! He really loves me! My mind fondles the kind acts of my husband. As I review each one, my heart responds.
When we explore the person of God with our minds, our hearts respond. How can we turn our minds to God and further foster a deep, rapturous love for God?

Sonjia, I enjoyed reading "Adoration: A Head and Heart Thing." You exhibit a definite talent for written language! I think I'll look through the Psalms today for attributes of our MARVELOUS Lord. I'm confident I'll find soooooo many! Amber States
Thanks so much Amber. I appreciate your visit and having read your comment, I'll spend a few minutes in Psalms right now myself. It's been a busy day & a Psalm sounds even better than a glass of milk before bed...
