What do you desire? In this day of relativism, where people believe that there is a set of "rules" for each individual circumstance and that there are no set in stone rules, I guess desires change. I will add as a side note that the mere fact that you believe there is NO "set in stone rule" is in itself a "set in stone rule", which defeats your own relativism argument. But, I digress...
If it all came down to what you truly desire, what would your answer be? I've been asking myself this A LOT lately. What I truly desire is to live happily with Trish, see my kids grow up and find and serve JESUS, see them become successful in life and ministry, and to do what GOD wants me to do. Now, that is what I truly desire but...
Today's word is a paraphrase from George MacDonald that says, "GOD carries in His heart the fulfillment to all the desires HE has placed in yours."
I do desire what GOD wants, BUT, I find myself desiring some pretty selfish things sometimes. I find myself desiring retirement and relaxation and no stress and more money and...it's funny that I say I desire what GOD wants but I don't seem satisfied with "just" that. Sometimes, my dissatisfaction, my desire for me, takes away the joy of today. Ever find yourself there? Yeah, me too.
Let's focus on our true desires, the ones GOD has placed in our hearts, and I bet we'll find that life is fuller and funner and freer.
Be Blessed,
