As the rain continues to fall at my house I feel a sadness that I can not seem to shake. For the past few days, certain events have left me homesick but, that's not the origin of my sadness today. Although I may be miles away from family and friends its not the cause of my tears today.
Have you ever loved someone or something so much that their pain becomes your own? I have always had this ability from a young age to feel what others are feeling. Sometimes I do not even know the story behind it or who they are... its just a feeling I get. A feeling I think the Lord allows me to get.... I have truly never understood it but never the less its very present in my life.
On the days like today I really seem to think of random songs that play in my head just to keep the darkness out. Different pieces that I keep thinking of are "Cry out to Jesus.... Break my heart for what breaks yours.... I am redeemed, you set me free... there's a end to the suffering... AND a hope that never fades..." I know my mind rambles often like me :) .
Something that is a true desire of our heart doesn't need to be changed or altered to fit into your life. If its a true desire then its already at the fullest and most concentrated that it can be. Do not water it down or dilute it with the thoughts of conforming it to the world we live in today. A true desire will be exactly that ... a 100% honest raw truth of your heart. When you change it to make it fit... you lose hope in parts of that desire to accommodate the other parts.... God did NOT say "I will give you the desires of your heart once you make them more like what the doctors say your reality is"... GOD said "Delight yourself in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart." He said I WILL .... not Maybe I can or hopefully but that HE WILL give us the desires of our hearts.
"Your desire is what you long for, what or whom you long to be with.
Your desire is where your heart is. Your desire is your greatest treasure
and will be your reward."
"For where your treasure is there your heart will be also."
Matthew 6:21
Im not saying you'll get what you want because you want it bad enough... A desire of the heart is different from a desire of the flesh. You must also have a desire for the Lord in your heart. "For He satisfies the longing soul, And fills the hungry soul with goodness."
What are you longing for?? What is it that your soul is starving for?? What is the true desire of your heart??
Not what you think is possible but, what you think is impossible??
"But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE
"But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience."
Romans 8:25
To my dear friend whom I love so much.... just know that the Lord knows your heart. He hears your cries and is not blind to the pain you feel. He knows what your soul is starving for and he knows exactly the goodness to fill it with. I have faith that the Lord WILL give you the desires of your heart. There is no doubt in my mind... Trust in him... invest your heart and soul into him. Let go of what the world says and "Cry out to Jesus."
