Watch What You Wish For

"We never imagine that getting our heart's deepest desires might be the worst thing that can ever happen to us."

-Tim Keller, Counterfeit Gods, p. 1.

Just eating His Word during my Daily Bible Reading for the night. It had brought me back to this. Some years ago, you reminded me of this passage during the time I was struggling for my desire. And I just read this for tonight in my Daily Bible Reading.

25 Whom have I in heaven but you?
And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.
26 My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Psalm 73:25-26 ESV

We all need to desire Him more than anything else on earth.
