I was given a suggestion today to write about something people desire. For example, if you were the richest man in your city and you had it all, but you still felt something were missing. When I thought about it at first my instinct was to say, Jesus. He is all we need. Follow him and we will have joy in our hearts and that is way better than. the short term happiness from the pleasures of the world. Then on another note if you have the gifts of the spirit, shouldn’t you have all you need?? (Galatians 5:22) So we can say to sin, I don’t need you I have faithfulness, and self-control and to those who get angry at us, we have patience, gentleness, and kindness, and so on… And grace… We have desires, my life would be perfect if _________. I myself desire to have a husband, a partner that fears God, likes the thought of kids someday etc. What do you desire?? What is it that you feel is missing in your life?? Think about it, what could make you feel whole?? Don’t money, material item, or a home.
Trust in the Lord and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper. Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires. (Psalms 37:3, 4 NLT)
“That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing? Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? (Matthew 6:25-27 NLT)
“But blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence.
“The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is? But I, the Lord, search all hearts and examine secret motives. I give all people their due rewards, according to what their actions deserve.” (Jeremiah 17:7, 9, 10 NLT)
