Wrestling with G! Desires



 

Do you follow your Desires? Are they taking you to a place of peace? Are they false routes? What do you desire right now?

 

OMG

 

Love:  the feeling of liking another adult very much and being romantically and sexually attracted to them, or strong feelings of liking a friend or person in your life:

"I've been seeing him over a year now." "Is it love?"

Children need to be shown lots of love.

 

Mercy:  kindness that makes you forgive someone, usually someone whom you have authority over:

She appealed to the judge to have mercy on her husband.

The prisoners pleaded for mercy.

 

Reborn: adjective existing or active again :

a reborn version of a 1978 series

reborn Christians

 

OMG

 

 

Just as emotions are waves and a bad influence and compass on our decision-making, the other spooky friend in the closet is our Desires.

Desires are tricky, sticky like honey, look good, feel good, smell good, smells yummy, but you stick your hand in the jar and your hand feels a bit.... sticky.

Just imagine, you are doing that, stick your hand in a jar of honey,  (imaginatively) which thoughts come up Honey? No finger licking, no tasting just your hand in the jar.

 

Now how do we do this right? Desiring things is not bad, we should aim for the betterment of ourselves, our relationships, financial freedom, and good health, for our kids to grow up to be decent/outstanding adults, our parents to grow old in dignity and not in pain. Those are completely FINE desires.

 

The problems are with the self-serving, sel-fish desires. They just never have good-tasting fruits.

 

How do you check on your desires if they are, tasty or bitter?

 

Say, G, Not my will but your will be done. Can you surrender to someone else's will you love and trust completely? Surrender your desires, and if they come through guarantee they will bring peace with the fulfillment. Surrender is a quality we all need to learn to prosper, get ahead, to become flexible in the mind and amid the hardship of life.

 

Does your life feel like it is falling apart? Good, Rejoice! Because you might be a step away from a complete surrender of selfish desires and a breakthrough is near.

 

4 things in life will catapult change in you:

 

4 Keys That Influence Us to Change by John Maxwell, the World's most influential leadership developer:

 

  1. you heard enough, so you Have to change

  2. you seen enough, so you are Inspired to change

  3. you learned enough, now you Want to change

  4. you received enough, so you are Able to change

 

  

If we would only trust what God always had for us, and surrender our desires to him, he would blow our mind off the chart! Because his ways are not our ways, his perspectives are higher than we could ever reach. And that is why the process of complete surrender takes a while and we wrestle with G!

 

I wish you patience, curiosity and sweet Heavenly desires to be fulfilled!

 

 

Until next time stay Blessed and



pray and contemplate on Love

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."

Corinthians 13:4
