A Christmas Desire:

Question: What desires are stirring in your heart?

What the Bible teaches about desire:

1.Abandoned desire is not God’s Will for your life

Desire is the source of our many noble aspirations.

2.Unrestrained desire is not God’s Will for your life.

(Matthew 16:26; Galatians 5:17-18; James 4:1-2)

3.A Desire to connect with God, is God’s will for your life.

(Psalm 63:1, Psalm 42:1; John 7:37-38; Psalm 119:10)

Psalm 42:1- As the deer pants for streams for water, so my soul pants for you, O God.

Psalm 63:1- O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you in a dry and weary land where there is no water.

Matthew 5:6- Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they will filled.

Here is the reality! Desire is not hard wired to God.
