Who are we desiring?

I have noticed this in my life as well, so I know this has to be right on!

We complain and complain that things don't go the way we want them to in our lives. We don't have the right 'things' or 'people' in our lives. We forget that we have made the choices to bring the 'things' and 'people' in our lives to begin with. We blame God because He hasn't answered our prayers to bring what we want in our lives to us.

The truth of the matter is .... He gives us the desires of our hearts. He is our Father in Heaven. He wants what is best for us, YES, but He wants to give us what we want as well. Now, if what we want is drugs, or relationships that is going to destroy us, well, maybe He will direct us to show us that we really don't want those things after all. But what I mean is, I have seen this in my very own life. . . I have prayed countless times .... Lord, help me change ..... because I want ... blah, blah, blah. (NOT ... Lord help me change because I want to please you.) I want to please Him from now on. I really do. I saw on an acquaintance's myspace page how she really messed up and the 'love of her life' doesn't want her anymore, so now she is going to do anything she can to get him back, which means, she has to turn to God. That doesn't mean she has realized she needs to change because God has shown her this realization. She just knows that he isn't going to take her back unless he sees a change in her. The Holy Spirit is probably speaking to him and telling him, this is probably not the girl for you, dude. Which I would agree. That doesn't discount the girl. Jesus loves her just as much! But my heart breaks for the girl, because she has yet to hit the bottom of the barrel. What she thinks the end of her life is this boy not loving her. She has yet to find 'her' and what she has seen of herself, she is not satisfied with. She needs Jesus desperately and deeply. When I think of the song "Hungry," I think of this girl, and I see her one day on her face weeping, singing this song to Him:

Hungry I come to You
For I know You satisfy
I am empty
But I know
Your love does not run dry
So I wait for You
So I wait for You
I'm falling on my knees
Offering all of me
Jesus You're all this heart is living for
Broken I run to You
For Your arms are open wide
I am weary but I know
Your touch restores my life
So I wait for You
So I wait for You

I'm praying for you Kayley!
I'm praying that you will one day realize that Jesus is the one you need to fall in love with and He is the one that you need more than air, more than the next heartbeat!
