Captured Hearts

Our hearts are captured. The question is by what or who. We have been created in the image of God.............having the capacity to receive love and give love. Yet, our hearts may be captured by something other than true Love, something contrary to God's design in creation for us. Something or someone other than Jesus, maybe an offense, an emotional injury, a person, fear, pride, bitterness and the list continues.

Our life will demonstrate the source of our hearts captivity even in spite of our creeds. Paul says "But when the Holy Spirit controls our lives, he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control." and "Whatever we do, it is because Christ's love controls us." Whatever captivates us controls us. It is vital that we submit to our need and dependency in humility. Seek the Lord and his enlightenment of your heart so you can receive and experience his love and presence. So that he can capture your heart with his unfailing love.

We can enjoy encouragement and a common bond with others who love the Lord, who have tasted and experienced Jesus.................those who worship the Lord in intimacy even if we have never had the privilege of meeting them. Listed below are a few who God has obviously blessed with the revelation of his love at least as their songs seem to indicate. A few lines from each are also listed.


The Beauty Of Simplicity
By: Telecast

It's the beauty of simplicity
That brings me down to my knees
I'll praise You for eternity
And Lord I love you
because you, you first loved me


Knees To The Earth
by Watermark

Be blessed, be loved, be lifted high
Be treasured here, be glorified
I owe my life to You oh Lord
Here I am

Beautiful Jesus
How may I bless Your heart?


If I have not love
by Matt Redman

This is a love song
This is a love song
Jesus, a love song to You
A song of devotion, a reverent passion
Savior, a love song to You


Sound Of Melodies
by Leeland

We have caught a revelation
That nothing can separate us from
The love we received through salvation
It fills your daughters and your sons

Your daughters in love
Your daughters in love
You’ve won your children


Sweetly Broken
by Jeremy Riddle

At the cross You beckon me
You draw me gently to my knees, and I am
Lost for words, so lost in love,
I’m sweetly broken, wholly surrendered
