What I have found is that whatever it is that we long to be desired by, we become the type of person that would be desireable by whatever it is that we want to desire us. Could you follow that?!? Let me explain...
Many years ago I desired so greatly to become a professional snowboarder (funny, huh?). But in all honesty I did. Well, in order to be desired by the snowboarding industry I had to fit their ideal. What exactly did that look like? Well not me at that moment. In order to be desired by them, you had to be good at snowboarding and I mean really good! You had to know what you were talking about and you had to have the right connections. I know there is more, but this is still just an example. So, I did everything in my power to become desireable by the snowboarding industry. I wanted them to want me. <--That was all I wanted.
Well the crazy part is that if you don't fit the "ideal" of whatever you long to be desired by, they throw you to the curb with nothing. It wasn't that I didn't fit the "ideal," but God asked me to give up snowboarding before I could go pro and after I did, no one in the industry cared. They were onto the next big thing and I was left empty. BUT, what is so amazing about the God that I serve is the fact that every single one of us is completely and utterly desired by Him! And we don't have to fit any form of mold or "ideal." He loves us exactly how we are because He created us! You don't have to fit any cookie cutter mold or dress a certain way, or wear ounces of make-up, or be a specific dress size to impress our God. You just need to be you and He desires you more than you could know!!!
Song of Solomon says, "You have ravished my heart, My sister, my spouse; You have ravished my heart With one look of your eyes.." (4:9)
I love that verse because even though it is Solomon saying this to his Beloved, our God says this about us! He has been utterly captivated by us and He has so much in store for everyone who surrenders their life to Him. So know that you are DESIRED and that you will be so blessed when you allow God to be the one you long to be desired by!
