DESIRE

“Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart” (Psalm 37:4 NKJV). What do you desire? I believe that our [good] desires are clues to what God has given us. Here are my desires: I want to be loved. God loves us so much that He sent His Son to die so that we could become His. I want to be valued. God paid an infinite price for our redemption. We are priceless. All of us. I want someone to understand my troubles and struggles. Jesus has been through all of the temptations we face, and His understanding is infinite (Hebrews 2:18, Psalm 147:5). I want to make a positive difference in the lives of others. Jesus said, “You are the light of the world….Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:14, 16). I want joy. In God’s presence is fullness of joy, and His people are continually in His presence (Psalm 16:11, Matthew 28:20). Note that God doesn’t just give us what we want; He does so infinitely, abundantly, fully. He ABOUNDS in riches to all who call upon Him (Romans 10:12). Thank You Lord!!!
