What Does Your Heart Desire?

My prayer for you today is that you take time to be at rest with God and enjoy all that He has for you.  The way God meant it to be, Amen!


Psalm 37:4 (KJV)
 4Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.


When I think of God’s Grace and what He desires for me I invision a fathers love for his child in giving everything that the child asks for while looking out for his or hers best interests.  The child comes to the father with those big eyes so full of expectation and says “Daddy I want ________, can I have it?”, and the Daddy smiles and says of course what color would you like?


Matthew 7:7-11 (KJV)
 7Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
 8For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
 9Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
 10Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
 11If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?


God loves you and wants you to have everything that He has for you.  Jesus said it this way in:


John 10:10 (KJV)
 10The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.


This is awesome what Jesus is saying here is that I have more for you and I want you to have life not death and have it more abundantly.  The dictionary defines abundant as present in great quantity; more than adequate, over sufficient, well supplied, more than enough!


The message translation says it this way;


John 10:6-10 (The Message)
 6-10Jesus told this simple story, but they had no idea what he was talking about. So he tried again. "I'll be explicit, then. I am the Gate for the sheep. All those others are up to no good—sheep stealers, every one of them. But the sheep didn't listen to them. I am the Gate. Anyone who goes through me will be cared for—will freely go in and out, and find pasture. A thief is only there to steal and kill and destroy. I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of.


Can you imagine that? Yes, God wants you to have a life more and better than you have ever dreamed. Why? Because God loves you and he sent his Son to die for you so you can live knowing that God’s Grace is all that you need, you are loved and accepted into family not because of anything that you have done but because of what was done for you through Jesus’ life, death, resurrection and His soon return! Glory to God!


All God requires is that you believe. When you take that step, all that God has is yours through the righteousness of Jesus.  


So next time when you ask does God really want me to have what my heart desires just crawl up into his lap and ask what it is that you want and see what happens.  God is willing and more than able to supply you.  His Favor is on you.  That means you are his favorite and don’t you ever forget it!    


Not only does God want to fulfill the desires of your heart... God created them in the first place. 


God loves you!
