What does your heart yearn for?

“But as for those whose heart yearns and goes after their detestable things and their loathsome abominations [associated with idolatry], I will repay their deeds upon their own heads, says the Lord God.” Ezekiel 11:21 AMP

So, let me ask – What does your heart yearn for?  Be honest! Do you crave the fruits of the Spirit: love, joy, peace patience, gentleness, kindness, self-control, humility, etc., etc.,; or, does your list include things like: being rich, being a leader, having a bigger house, having a new car, winning, etc., etc., ?  Why don’t you take a few minutes and write down your heart, and include every want and desire - good, bad, and/or evil.  Don’t worry, this is between you and God alone, nobody else.

Well… what do you see? What things are you proud of, what things need worked on, and what things do you know aren’t ok by God?  Once you narrow it all down, invite God to come in and change the things that aren’t right by Him; not only ask Him to change them, but to change you, your heart, and how you view them, as well.  He will go to work the moment you call, and the transforming power of His Spirit will come alive within you, helping you change those unhealthy desires into strengths and blessings that go beyond all compare of what you could of ever desired in the first place.

Finally, as for those of you that don’t want to get rid of unhealthy desires, sadly, your ending probably won’t end the way you are hoping.  So, for the sake of your soul, your life, your happiness, and your family, I do hope that you’ll consider the wrongs in your heart, and make a firm choice to turn away, ask God in, and begin to feel a whole new – alive - transformation of glory! I promise, you’ll be happy that you did when all is said and done, and when your final breath is breathed.
