Yes, God.

What do you WANT more than everything? If life didn't give you conditions, or rules, or obstacles... what would you want to do? who would you want to be with? what would you want to accomplish? what would you want to own? who would you want to be? There are so many questions and so many possibilities. So many options and not enough time. Not enough money. Not enough desire. Not enough courage. There is always something holding us back. Someone standing in our way. But that doesn't make the question invalid. Ask yourself... what do you WANT? Really. Truly. Deeply.

Now as yourself this question: What does God WANT for you? If you could listen clearly to His voice what would He be telling you... where would He call you... to who would He lead you... what fear would He ask you to conquer? And, more so, does what you want correspond to what He wants for you? So often we get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life and our own dreams that we don't stop and listen. We don't take the time to seek guidance, to seek counsel from the One who knows the answer before we even ask the question. His desire is more than just a WANT, it's a desire, a heartfelt attempt to provide you with the best life you could possibly imagine... if only you let Him. He is burning with a passion to hold you. to guide you. to direct you. That is more than anything you could ever dream of. A love so strong it can make the impossible, possible.

And you know what's even cooler? When God places a desire in your heart so that what you want is the exact thing that God wants for you. To be on the same page with God... to listen to Him and to seek Him... He makes the desires of your heart in tune with Him. And that is better than anything else you could possbily want! Because it comes with the blessing of the Father. It comes with support. It comes with guidance. It comes with the hope that no matter what... God has a plan. And He will provide, whatever you need to make it to the next step. He is faithful. He will fill you. He make you whole. He will give you peace that this is right... whatever it is.

Let Him take your wants and make them His. See what happens. See where He leads you. Let Him hold you close and give you the strength to make it. To accomplish your dreams. To get what you want. What He wants. With Him, you can do it. You can make it.

So no lie.... God and I had a conversation about this last night while I was driving home. I am wrestling with several different desires for my life... a few different paths that lead to different endings. As I was praying He asked me what I truly want... what is the deepest desire of my heart. Lots of things came to mind but the only thing that came out of my mouth was to serve Him. I don't care where... I don't care how... or where it leads. I know that He is the only thing I truly desire.

Thanks for sharing.... very encouraging post.
