Desire

Desire. What is the first thing that pops into your mind when you hear that word? Are your desires for physical things? A new car, a bigger house, a different neighborhood? Maybe your desires are for a relationship. A husband (or maybe you desire the husband you have to act differently - wishing for that imagined 'perfect' man), children (or children who are perfectly behaved - don't think that is going to happen). Pehaps your relationship desires are focused on your parent(s).

We all have desires. That, in and of itself, is not a bad thing. Until ... we allow our desires for physical things or earthly relationships to become the primary focus of our lives.

We were created by our Holy God to desire Him. No other desires, even if we were to receive all of them, will ever fill the void in our lives that only He can fill.

This weekend many of us will have an opportunity to hear Beth Moore speak about 'Coming Home to the Heart of Our Desire'. If you live in the Green Bay, Wisconsin area you can be there live! Most of us will experience the 'Living Proof Live' conference via simulcast. Either way, I encourage you to join us to hear what God says about the heart of our desire. If you are in the Hopkinsville area, come on over to Second Baptist Church - doors open Friday at 6:00pm and Saturday at 7:30am. If you can't make it to Hoptown, check out the Living Proof Live website to find a location near you. I can promise you that if you come with an open heart and a willingness to listen for to God speak, you will not leave disappointed.

I hope to see you there!

Hugs,
Molly
