Lately, (when I say lately I mean for months now) I have truly been praying to know the Father's heart. I want what he wants with all of my heart. His way is always perfect.
When I was a little girl my church would take groups to Guatemala. I always wanted to go but I was never old enough; once I was we had moved churches. A desire of mine was always to travel to another country, nation...jungle and tell people about JESUS! That desire never faded but was pushed way back to the bottom of my "desire" pile. I think not burning for his heart caused that result. OH, but I have been burning for a long time now...and one of his many desires has become my #1 desire again!!! I have this burning in me to go to other nations. God LOVES South America. And they are on my heart because they were first on the Father's heart. Of course I know there are many other countries He wants, but I am drawn to this one. You know when you want something so bad you can almost taste it? That is how I feel. Constant.
I love delighting myself in Him. Because soon....this desire of "OURS" will happen. Until then, I'm going to prepare myself in every way possible.
It's amazing to me...that verse: "Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart's desires." Ps 37:4 - It is so true. If we truly delight ourselves in the Lord..we fall so in love with Him and his heart. We want to know his heart and what he wants. What he wants are "desires". Then his desires become "our" desires. ....and He will give you your heart's desires. I desire South America! I desire them to KNOW Jesus Christ, the REAL Jesus!
I hear so many people here say, "I always thought I knew what I wanted...but everything has changed now." It's because we've delighted ourselves in the Lord!! Everything changes when He becomes numero uno (: I desire what He desires for the Earth and for my life. HIS WAY IS ALWAYS PERFECT!!
I'd like to encourage you today to take time to ask God what He desires. God, what is on your heart today??? I want what you want! I'll ask for the nations!
