desire

do you remember the last time you just had to have something?..that double chocolaty vinti frappucino from Starbucks...or as I sense from a lot of the younger generation a tall cold one...maybe it was some sort of clothing item...such as a pair of sunglasses or a dress or a pair of jeans...maybe it was the need to be held by your significant other...or maybe it was hoping that maybe just maybe someone on facebook acknowledged you...it is funny how our socializing has dwindled down to 2D text on a screen...whoops! rabbit trail, let me get back to that feeling in your pit of your stomach, that if, whatever it is that you just had to have happen...didn't happen...your whole day was going to be ruined...well I was thinking about all of that a while ago and it hit me...that I spend a lot of time desiring things to get me through the day...then I realized God created us that way...creatures who need...who desire...the thing is that we have forgotten who can meet those needs...not the created but the Creator...why do we try to get life out of dead things?..HE desires...and His desire involves you...may we desire Him most of all and as much as He desires us...may the next time you desire something so bad that it hurts...may it be a desire to know Him more...as the apostle Paul said, "I want to know Him and the power of His resurrection"...now I don't know about you but I think knowing Him more will be better than another piece of clothing or an empty Starbucks cup...just a thought...relax God is in control!
