To say I’ve had a challenging few weeks would be an understatement. Can you agree, life can be quite challenging?
If you look closely at my life from the outside you may see joys, delights and the many blessings God has provided beyond measure. I am humbled to experience rich genuine relationships. Yet right in the midst, deep inside my heart lives an unmet desire that burns so hot the passion at times feels unbearable. My recent challenges have kindled the fire within.
Upon reading the words of Exodus 2 I wept bitterly.
“23 During those many days…the people of Israel groaned…and cried out for help…24 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant… 25 God saw the people of Israel—and God knew.” (Emphasis added)
The words offered incredible hope for a heart filled with unmet desire. God reminded me not only does He hear my groaning, He is the fire keeper! He has not forgotten the fire he kindled deep in my heart so many years ago. He sees me and He knows.
Friend, if you too are longing for an unmet desire deep in your own heart you are not alone! God remembers. God sees. God knows.
If you value prayer and would like me to say a prayer specifically for you feel free to leave a comment: “I have a desire” (or any comment) and I will commit to pray for you and appreciate your prayers over my desire!
