The desire of God’s heart

God does not want.. “anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9)

Recognize this: God “wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth” (1 Timothy 2:4)

God loves you and me so much that He is actively reaching out with a heart of compassion and He is actively working so that you and I will not perish but will come to repentance and salvation.

I wonder what has you tied up in knots right now? What has you in bondage?

• What are you worried about?
• What are you afraid of?
• What concerns and bothers you?
• What are you facing that you don’t know how to address?
• What are you facing that you don’t know if you have what it takes to deal with it?

I want to tell you the desire of God’s heart: He deeply desires to rescue you, deliver you and save you from each of the things in your life that have you in bondage. If there is anything in your life that has you tied up in knots God is actively working to set you free from from it. Do you believe this? Will you let Him?

In what ways can you see God blessing you right now?

• How has He healed you?
• How is He making you whole?
• What good gifts has He given you?
• How is He causing you to prosper or flourish?
• What evidences can you see that He is seeking to give you an abundant life in Him?

Let me remind you of the desire of God’s heart: He is passionate about blessing His beloved (that’s you!) as well as healing us, transforming us and causing us to flourish in Him. He wants to give you an abundance of fruitfulness in your life that you can in turn share with others. Do you believe this? Will you ask for and receive this from Him?

Lastly, how do you think God wants to use you? Are you aware that He want to equip you, motivate you and mobilize you?

• Who do you know that needs help?
• Who do you know that needs hope?
• Can you think of a friend or family member who is bound?
• Who do you know that is lost?
• Or hurting?
• Or lonely?
• Or depressed?

May you and I always remember the desire of God’s heart: He is fervently working so that you and I can be built up, equipped, resourced, motivated and mobilized in order to bring His good news to the earth and to each person we meet. Do you believe this? If you do, what will you do about it?

God is reaching out to you today. He is reaching out to set you free, to heal, bless and prosper you and to use you to help others along the way. Now that you and I have been reminded of the desires of God’s heart, may we faithfully come to Him, finding rest, healing and wholeness in Him and then as we freely receive from Him, may we freely give to others. What a gift! What a privilege. How great is our God!
