"There are certain needs and desires we all share. They are inherent to the human condition. We all want to be loved, we all want to be in control, we all want to make a difference. We also have a longings for purity, peace, and justice. When these desires go unmet, we tend to look for alternative means to meet them. Proverbs 13:12 says, “Hope delayed makes the heart sick, but desire fulfilled is a tree of life.” How does God intend to deal with our desires? God actually shapes our desires to match His own heart. How do you really get what you want? Trust God to shape your desires and meet them in His own way. You will find that you are truly drawing from the tree of life—living the life you always wanted.
