I have heard many times before, "tell God what is on your heart." The phrase, "tell them what is on your heart," is saying to tell someone the deepest desires that you have and what you are feeling and longing for. We can tell God everything that we want and feel, but have we taken the time to ask God what the desires of His heart is?
Often times, the answer is no. We want God to answer our prayers and let His will be done, but do we ever ask Him what is on His heart? I know that I did not for the longest time, until yesterday. I had to stop and ask Him what He truly wants.
He wants relationship.
He wants us to have a good future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). He wants us to find rest in Him from this world and its demands (Matthew 11:28-29). He wants us to have all of our needs met (Philippians 4:19). He wants us to have victory in every area of our lives and be loved more than we could ever comprehend (Romans 8:37-39). He wants us to be saved (Romans 10:9) and He wants us to have eternal life with Him (Romans 6:23).
His heart is selfless when it comes to us. He wants us to have a right relationship with Him that will lead to prosperity, happiness, and a joy filled loving life. When we ask God to know the desires of His heart, He will make them known to me.
When it comes to a relationship, we do not always just talk. Sometimes we sit back and listen to what our other half wants and desires and dreams about. It is no tall about us talking and our wants and needs. A relationship is a two way street. In order to have a healthy relationship with God, let us ask Him the desires of His heart for us. What does He want for us?
He gave up His only son on the cross for us so that we could have a right saving relationship with Him. He gave up everything so that we would not have to. He showed us love when we were lost. He was always there for us and always will be here for us. If we want to have a relationship with this loving God, let us find out more about Him. Let us seek Him with all of our hearts. Let us yearn for what He years for, and desire to make Him as happy as He can make us. Is He not worth the effort?
