desires of your heart - part 1

did you hear the shouts of celebration last night about midnight eastern time. that was me, celebrating the end of august. oh. my. stars. the month ABSOLUTELY kicked my tail.

on the final weekend of the month, i found myself EMPTY. emotionally, spiritually EMPTY (and my husband would quickly add cranky and moody).

ahhh...but then came Friday night! i attended a beth moore simulcast friday evening and saturday morning with my dear friend, julie. rejuvenation, reaffirmation and amazing declarations were made during that sweet time. the message centered on Psalm 37:4.

Delight yourself in the Lord

and he will give you the desires of your heart.

we spent several hours on this verse - dissecting it, laughing, pondering, asking difficult questions and finding amazing answers.

so over the next couple of days i thought i would share a few snippets from our lesson. an important note: my attempt at this will - at best - be feeble, lacking and incomplete as NO ONE can do this like beth moore.

we began by examining desire. beth (we're on a first name basis) shared this strong and powerful statement:

nothing dictates our lives like our desires.

how profoundly true is that statement? pause and think through it.

what is desire? desire is defined as a craving, an unmet need, a sustained longing. desire necessitates a wait. if we had it/possessed it right now, it would not be a desire.

so, to close today, what are the desires of your heart?

stay tuned...
