Enlarging Your Heart

For the past two weeks my husband Adam has been teaching a series at our church (which continues into next week) called "Enlarging Your Heart" based on the classic Christmas film How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
I have personally enjoyed the series very much as it has reminded me that the world can really cause your heart to shrink but if I tap into God's love for me and the love He has put in my heart for others, my heart can grow three times bigger.
One statement that was made this past Sunday was that God does not act like us. We often times think of God on our level instead of being a much greater being that is above all the petty things and ways of man. Just because I get upset with someone over a silly thing doesn't mean God reacts in such a way when I mess up. God is not an old man with a white beard sitting in heaven waiting to smite someone. He is a loving God that challenges us in every way to come up a bit higher and live life as He planned for us.
