What Does The Heart Desire?

Send us Fan MailWhat Does The Heart Desire?“Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” - Psalm 37:4What does the heart desire? At first we are tempted to believe the heart desires money, power, and status. However if you’ve ever spent much time around people who have obtained those things, you will find many of them are still miserable. I’m convinced that there are three things our hearts truly desire. We desire peace. We desire purpose. We desire to be loved unconditionally. We want peace. We want to be free of anger, resentment and bitterness. We want to escape the cycle of revenge and retribution. We may like drama in a book or movie, but we want to be free of it in real life. We want inner calm even in the midst of an outer storm.We want purpose. We want to know that our lives have made a difference. We want to leave behind a positive legacy. We want to plant trees whose shade will be enjoyed by future generations, and seeds that will be harvested long after we are gone. Finally, we want the knowledge that are we loved- not continently, not because of what we have or what we can do. Transactional love is not love at all. We want to know that we are loved as who we are, where we are, how we are. There’s nothing we can do to earn more and nothing we can do to lose it. These are the things the heart desires. These are the things we will experience if we will take delight in the presence of God. I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope.
