Experiencing the Heart of Jesus

I feel overhwhelmed with things that I have to do, things I want to know, things, things, things..."rest", he says, "rest in my love"....but how Lord Jesus, how do I simply "rest" in you?! Don't I have to do anything? Don't I have to at least believe in you and remain faithful? "Come as you are, I want to undo you and love you now...not when you are better in your own eyes."
I doubt this. Why? I doubt it because I don't know the heart of Jesus? Isn't it amazing when you know someone's heart, when you know their intentions and you know if they can be trusted in everything, how it changes the way you react to what they say and what they do. When you are assured that their heart is good, you can rest easy because even if they fail you, you are not completly disappointed because you know there must be a definate reason for it. The thing with Jesus is that he won't ever let you down. Yet, somehow because we arn't familliar enough with this heart, we doubt his faithfulness, realness, goodness, truthfulness, perfection...so my prayer is that we would experience the heart of Jesus in a way that leaves no room for denial that he is the true LIVING God who is good and whose heart is kind, loving, pure and always open to us...not closed off to us, even when we do fail him.
"Yes, Lord Jesus, I pray for my brothers and sisters in Christ and myself, that we might experience your heart in an entirly new and holy way...show us who you truly are that we might love and trust you ever more fully today...I love you LORD, the sovereign one of all time and creation, I desire your embrace more then the air I breath, help me to recognize it when it's here. Help us to recognize your presence, your touch, your kind eyes...it is what our soul craves...show us your heart Lord Jesus. I pray against any force that would attempt to get between this experience...it has NO AUTHORITY IN THIS PLACE! Your blood conquered it all....and I claim that now. Lord Jesus, in your name...It's true."
