Desire

So have you ever stopped to wonder... When is God going to give me what I want?!?!?!?! Ive wondered this a few times.. Not in a stomp my foot and pout my mouth kinda way. But in a sincere heart on my sleeve way. I think its something we all come cross and something that we all have to learn how to put our desires away and ask the Lord to show us His desires for our lives.

The truth of the matter is its not about what we want or what we desire or what makes us happy.. Honestly how many times do we hear this? Well the honest truth is that you can put this very exact sentence in different pretty words but at the end of the day the message behind the sentence will be the same one.. Its not about us...

Next time you find yourself wondering When is God going to give me what I want you make sure to get on your knees and thank Him for what you have and pray that His desires for your life will become your desires as well and that you will by His grace act upon what He wants.
