What you’ll find here is a conglomeration of thoughts that come to my mind at any given time here and there (even while I’m out jogging). You may have even read one or two of these in a tweet? Do you ever have God speak to you? If you’re a Christian, it should be a usual occurrence. I would say that many of these are God speaking to me, while some others (of course) are just things I’ve read (and in the Bible) that really stick. (He speaks that way, too!) You get a bit of a look inside the heart of @aheartforgod on twitter as you read this list. And may it be that the Lord will quicken one of these as His word to you wherever you might find yourself? It’s just like Him to do that, you know. God bless. Jesus is near, right at the door.
