Alive to God's Desire

I was thinking about our sermon series bible study. The title/phrase that the church is calling it is Alive to God’s desire. In this weeks study questions, it asked what is God’s desire and what does it mean to be alive to God’s desire. I knew that God’s desire has and will always be that each and everyone one of us, the good, the bad and the ugly, all of us; he wants us to love him back. I thought of that in bed this morning before getting up and tears came to my eyes because I felt so much how similar we really are to God. He made us in his image. I have pondered that and really didn’t grasp what that meant but I believe it all has to do with love. God made us because he loves us and wants to be in a relationship with us. We are SO the same. The greatest need in all of us is to be loved and to love. The world and the sin in it, I think truly hold us back from our full potential to love that God has given each of us. He just wants us to love him back. Tears…. So how does this desire of God’s make me alive. I so want to tell everyone! It’s that simple. God just wants us to love him back. So, it’s our call as believers to help in this cause. We have to fight the sin and the devil at work in our world and overcome so that more and more people can see the truth that all God ever wanted was us to love him back.
