Famous theologian Thomas Cranmer said, ‘What the heart loves, the will chooses, and the mind justifies.’ In other words our ambitions in life, our everyday choices and priorities are driven largely by the things that our hearts desire.

In his letter to the church in Philippi, Paul encourages us to let Jesus be our heart’s desire. Let Him be the one that we long for, our goal in life, our treasured possession. Because when he is, Jesus will drive our life’s ambitions, our everyday choices in life and our priorities. And to top it off, if we make Jesus our heart’s desire, then we’re guaranteed to have our hearts satisfied on the day he is revealed in all his glory.
