ver chapter twenty nine and this is kind of a popular scripture over the last few years in jeremiah here but what it says after this i think is is really really important german had twenty nine and verse eleven this is now this remembers when they were in babylonian captivity and he says i know the thoughts that i think toward you say of the lord thoughts of peace not of evil to and find we had used search for me with all of your heart you shall find me when you search for be with the whole of your heart so the title of this message is finding the heart of god not only for ourselves for your families how many of you want to find the heart of god you want to find the heart of god that's important isn't it already to the word here and the bible tells us that david was a man after god's own heart david was a man after god's own heart big yet think about david for a minute gives me great hope because we'd all have our flaws and faults and problems too so if david with all his problems could be a bad after god's own heart we can become men and women after god's own heart too so we have great hope for that so why was david considered a man after god's own heart how how isn't it this  could be him well david was a man after god's own heart because he thought the heart of god what made him a man after god's own heart is when you search for me with all your heart god does not want us to search for him with ten percent of our heart or twenty percent of our heart he wants us to search for him with all sheet my word if you love me keep in mind sainz so in other words love is always demonstrated through  i don't open the car door if i don't treat your nice if i don't do special things for you if i don't remember her ever birthday or our anniversary if i forget those things my demonstrating are are not receiving christ into their heart ever wonder about them possibly because we don't have a sp we ask for proof give notice we never need to ask for forgiveness anymore that's like me to being married and asking forgiveness for my wife once and for in the next fifty years i never have to say i'm if we're not breaking for example as much as we should if we're not studying the bible if we're not went to see it as much as we should is that something we should outsource forgiveness sure in other words what i'm saying is if you want to grow with your relationship with jesus christ guys are looking at me was stone faces here in fact your heart cannot have a healthy relationship with god if there is something that you need to ask forgiveness for i shared this story the other day my wife heard this some of the neighbor kids there and we were playing softball in the front yard oh you know what song only this slight baseball except the ball is that big kid so we were playing softball it was my turn to come up to bat and my mom calls from the window she says don come in then it's time to do dishes i was upset i was playin ball and i had to run to him it was mine term it was my schedule time to dry dishes so when i went in to start drying the dishes i did not have a good spirit and in fact i was trying to claim mean and banging the dishes as out as drawing them and putting them away and i did that for a while and then i broke a dish we sometimes say god i'm sorry i'm sorry for what i've done otherwise you're playing church you're playing in church you cannot get on with your relationship with god or with others and tell you ask for forgiveness and take care of things and i will say this we as family members need to admit when you're wrong that means husbands need to ask for forgiveness for their want to hairs and wives need to ask forgiveness from their husbands and sometimes we as parents may need to ask forgiveness of our children if we have not treated them the right way you know when it tells us that infusions chapter six do not promote your children to anger right our families do you know why some children never have a spirit of forgiveness because they will see it in their parents re pendants is essential in getting saved and repairing did send for him this is essential in staying saved some people have a hard time saying their story every know anybody like th m i don't know if this would even be helpful do you guys remember that show years ago on t v called happy days you know we ever heard of on the seat on the on happy days he can never say he was sorry in fact if you did something wrong he would say i let's face it today there's not a lot of on respect among people now one thing you can say about asian cultures and even more so long a romo folks is you folks have more respect among one another than american culture folks do you definitely do let me say this loose it you know why it heard and that you may be wales no you may have the worst parents in the whole wide world and you look at the bible says you're still supposed to honor wow this is  true a step farther we are to respect our elders in the church i know this never ever happens with your robo folks but when you leave ensures you probably never get in the car and say back to pastor i don't know what's wrong with him why did he preach that i don't know not respect others because they do not have clear boundaries this is a very interesting piece of research it says research or is we're conducting research so they watched children  equipment was placed on the edges if the playground had a fence around it this children played right up to the outside edge of the fence even if the best equipment was placed  we teach respect by showing respect to each other oh this is a good one to and i know you has been as you're going to just jump up and down when you hear this husband another attribute to david he had with us a man of faith and trust in god in fact he said the lord is my rock my fortress my deliverer my strength in whom will i trust trust is earned it develops over time god wants to trust us with a few things so he can make this rule over many things that's why days i will make you ruler over many things if you ever known a young man or young woman who feels like they've got a calling on are lies and that's a beautiful thing because i'm going to say this all of you have a calling on your life you just need to discover what it is before god because all of you have a work to do but when god calls us and say like god is is  for example this young man to be a minister right here many trotters i go to a person will say god's call me so why would i want to start preaching right away and i want to be the pastor of the church you earn trust over the course of your relationship it doesn't develop over marriage so if a man goes out and gets drunk and comes  day after day and week after week and then you know abraham was called the father of the faithful and he's he's our example of trust and faith how many of you having a child going up to a mountain and god spoke you and said you're going to offer your son a sacrifice how many of you could do that that would be difficult yet that's what god that's a tight and shouted with god did it by giving his only begotten son right so here we have isaac with abraham in there going up the mountain and he's with attributes so that love forgiveness respect faith relationships thanksgiving and humility can you stand with me in this time meal's coming from or to pay the rent or take care of our obligations lord
