A HEART MOVED BY GOD, TO CONSOLATE OTHERS
I invite you to reflect today on the hearts that are moved by God.
When God speaks to man, he does so with the purpose of touching his heart. Well, it is known that the longing of God is to change the hearts of humanity.
¿What does a moved heart mean?
Having a moved heart means that someone aroused intense feelings that caused a very strong and deep emotion that impressed his heart.
Man by nature has always sought the need to internalize about what his heart longs for, and in most cases he is always disappointed not to find that need, that emptiness he feels to fill, but he does not find how to do it, then, He takes refuge in vain situations that never suffice that void that they need to fill or needs to be moved.
Today's society needs their hearts to be moved by God, but for that they must also be motivated by people who once let their hearts be moved before God.
2 Kings 22:19 New International Version (NIV)
19 'How you have been moved and humbled before the Lord by hearing what I have announced against this place and its inhabitants, who would be ravaged and cursed; and, as you have torn your clothes and cried in my presence, I have listened to you. I, the Lord, affirm it.
Josiah was a man moved by God, when he learned that the wrath of God had been kindled against Judah he was moved and humiliated before the Lord and God heard him.
Josiah had enough moral to ask for the people of Judah, because he was a man touched by God's heart.
In the same way and from another point of view, we see how a heart touched by God can touch others through consolation.
Beloved Church today many men and women hurt and wounded by the circumstances of life, are seeking a word of encouragement in someone who has been moved by God.
Christians have been called to console without distinction of races.
Joseph "the dreamer" a man with a heart like God's, to console even his enemies.
¡Here is the example of Joseph!

Let's see what the word of God tells us in the book of Genesis 50: 18-21:
18 And his brethren also came and fell down before him, and said, Behold, we are here for your servants. 19 And Joseph said to them, Be not afraid: am I in the place of God? 20 You thought badly about me, but God directed him to do good, to do what we see today, to keep many people alive. 21 Now, then, do not be afraid; I will sustain you and your children. So he consoled them, and spoke to their hearts.
When people do not allow themselves to be moved by God, they think that there is no forgiveness or consolation from someone who one day decided to be free and embrace his heart to God, because they ignore that only people through God can access great magnitude, even when those same people have damaged it.
We looked at that example in Joseph, because he was now a man enabled by God to forgive and comfort his enemies. God had trained him and Joseph was also a man subject to passions like some of us.
Joseph had sinned against God, had gone through deep trials in life that sometimes disturbed him, but at this time in his life he had the ability to speak and comfort hearts that had previously hurt him.
José did not look at the past, José did not see that his brothers had treated him badly, he did not remember that his brothers had sold him, he could only look at brothers who were broken, hurt, disconsolate, full of fear that came and needed him. That is why when they come to Joseph, he cries and his heart is moved by the love he had for them and by the forgiveness he had already given them.
Joseph was able to console his brothers, and not only consoled them, but he spoke to their hearts, he made them known to the eternal God who is able to move and console hearts, so that he can also comfort others.
Church. We need God to speak to our hearts. We need to be moved by God, to be able to console this humanity that waits for us!
There are many hopeless people who hope to hear today a consolation from the Church.
Retake your role and conquer again!
¡They wait for us!

Excellent reflection @ricci01. I enjoyed this teaching, then, a heart touched by God is what the oppressed need to be able to be consoled.
Certainly our God longs for us so that we too can long for our neighbor who suffers and hopes to receive consolation.
Thanks for sharing
God bless you,
Beautiful work, when a heart is moved by God it has sympathy for others who are suffering, it sees one's problem as its problem and strive to give out help.
This is Brother @ppongk, a heart moved by God is the depth of God's love in that heart.
Thanks for comment.
God bless you.
