psalm 37:4

"Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart."

How many times have you read this verse and thought of it as a chore?
I have. Too many times.

I'm beginning to see it differently know, which is evidence of the love of God being made real in my life.

God's personality shines in this. His love that is unconditional. His desire to just give and give and give and give.

First of all, He gave Himself. Then He gave His Spirit. He gives his truth to all who seek it. He tells us that we are Created to ADORE our creator and then He says

that if we accept his GIFT, He will GIVE us MORE!

What it does not say:
Unless I delight in him I won't receive the desires of my heart. That's how I've read it for so long.

But now I think of it like a double bonus:
I GET to delight in him

AND

RECEIVE everything I desire.

Haha, it kinda makes me high on life.

His giving may be to place those desires in your heart.
