One is commonly seen flying away from a beautiful summer wedding and one is february fourteenths most common shape for a box of chocolates, so why are they so important? There basic symbols and the words them selves represent the two most important things in the world, the Lord and love.
When we read the gospels we study the life of Christ and try to model our life and our choices after what he did. These four book are full of big events that Jesus went threw and one of them is his baptism. Matthew 3:13-17 is the story of his baptism and in verse 16, the moment after is described.
Matthew 3:16
“As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting on him.”
What a beautiful image is that. God coming down to His son like a dove and lightning at the same time. A dove is a beautiful creature and is a glorious symbol of our Lord. When I see a dove my mind immediately goes straight the power of our God.
God’s beauty in the form of a dove and now God’s beauty in the form of a heart.
1 John 4:8
“Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.”
The heart is the international symbol of love. I mean “I heart you” is a common phrase now a days, and that heart, or that love that we speak of is God. God is Love and thats a fact.
Doves and Hearts is going to be the title of articles that I will be writing. Every now and then I just get these thoughts in my head about a life with God and this is going to be my way of getting it out. So if you read these then I hope that Gods light can be shined on you threw reading it.
