God's great heart of love
The human heart is an amazing machine, pumping 1 million liters of blood a day and doing that work, moment by moment, 1 billion times during an average lifespan. For an adult, it beats about 72 times per minute, every minute, sending blood throughout the body every two minutes, delivering 11 ounces of its life-giving cargo. The only rest the heart gets is during a 4/10 of a second interval between each 8/10 second pulsation cycle.
The pumping action is created by a jumping action. In other words, two electrical pulses touch the upper and lower sections of the heart and it jumps and says, “Whoa, that tickles!” The “Sinoatrial node” (SA node) initiates the sequence of the heart beat because it is a constant running pacemaker. The Atrioventricular node (AV node) completes the beat by responding to the impulse of the SA node.
The SA node draws in blood and pushes it down past the AV node, which then waits a split second for the closing of a check valve right next to the AV node, and then it fires its pulse which sends the blood out of the heart.
Thus the heart beat is really made up of two component beats; one beat the echo of the other, both making up the pulse of life.
It is heaven to be in God’s presence. It is also a sanctuary, because He is a sanctuary, the Mosaic temple being the small scale and elementary replica of the heavenly, “which the Lord pitched, and not man.” (Heb. 8:1,2). The Creator’s sanctuary is the heart of the universe. From it flows blessings and life and joy out to the furthest reaches of infinite space; and from the depths of the illimitable universe return the thankfulness, love and adoration of intelligent life.
Throw a pebble into the center of a pond and see its effects move out to the very shore in moving ringlets. Then watch those rings reflect off the edge of the pond and return to their original source. So does the goodness of God emanate from Him out to the rest of His creation, only to be reflected back—a never ending ebb and flow of life. The one exception to this great and wondrous system is the dust speck called Earth. Those waves of life find hardly an answering echo. That planet just keeps absorbing the blessings from the Creator with little response of thankfulness.
But there is a small response, though barely detectable. Like the tiniest sound from Who Ville, God can hear the cry, “Help! Help! If anyone is out there, Help!” To that voice He has never failed of aiding. He will save, He will nurture, He will create in them the sound of appreciation and gratitude.
Maybe He will be the only one to detect the praise and thanksgiving, but He will be satisfied with what little He can get. Because when the Great Controversy is over, He knows His redeemed children will sing the loudest their love for Him. They will rise up and call Him blessed and, throughout eternity, will be His strongest witnesses.
“For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.” 2 Cor. 4:15.
