Our heart's desire is God's invitation to us to leave our nets and follow him. It begins within, it goes forth giving, and returns to us fulfilled...to set forth again, giving, returning fulfilled....
I have no idea if that was a blinding flash of the obvious or something I read...makes no never mind, it sings to me...especially when I ponder our heart's desire as God's invitation.
The fact is, though, our heart's desire changes by the minute...that is one reason morning quiet time is so essential. It sets us up for the day. Sets our focus on God within us now...even though we are aware that our now changes constantly. It is that discipline of making our self available to a higher power every morning that saves us when we are gobsmacked by an unexpected change in the middle of the day.
That's when it is incumbent upon us to remember our morning focus and then revise whatever we were thinking, feeling, doing or saying. We make a mental U-bie by shooting a thank you and realizing something about the situation that makes us grin...something about us in the situation is what we're going for.
That's when we remember that our heart's desire is to love and laugh and that is all. That is all because the Father within does the rest...using our lips and ears to be sure, so we'd best have them tuned in for the love and laughter. That is if we really want his will to be done rather than our will.
Thank you.
