"Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:4
You are the desire of your Creator. He created you as He desired. You are not a mistake, nor an accident of genetics and natural order. Now all these things may influence your shell; your physical body. But your physical body does not define you. You can be separated from your physical body. We call that death. What God desires is your inner man. He desires an intimate loving relationship with you; not to berate and judge you. No, what you fear in judgement and has already been dealt with on the Cross. If you will delight yourself in Him; if you will pursue the loving God that staged a daring rescue to free you from sin's captivity, then He will give you the petitions of your inner man. You will experience your heart's desires. He will fill you with vitality, and not just some vitality, but exceedingly abundant vitality.
"I (Jesus) have come that they (that means you) may have life, and have it to the full." John 10:10.
By the way that "...to the full" means super abundantly, more than enough. You know, the cup's running over kind of full.
Dear Lord, enable us to trust Your Love. Help us to lay hold of that which You have laid hold of us for. Let us delight ourselves in You and let go of our own understanding and lordship over our lives. We want to relish our relationship with you. Open our eyes to see the truth of Your superabundant love for us. Thank you Sweet Savior!
