I Desire

I woke up one morning thinking about all of the things I desired to be in my life. I began to write them down just as fast as they came to me. It was like a river flowing from my heart. I had trouble keeping up with the thoughts that were flooding my heart that particular morning. I just thought by sharing this list with you it might spur you on toward thinking about the desires God has put on your heart.

I Desire

I desire the type of relationship with my Lord that drives me to think about Him the very moment I wake up and not stop thinking about Him until the very moment I fall asleep at night.

I desire to praise my Lord with my innermost being, with all that I have, all that I am, and all that I will become.

I desired to be a daughter of the living God one who gives back in obedience. One who loves with every ounce of her being the Father who created her.

I desired to put on the full armor of God each and every day so that when the flaming missiles of the enemy come they will not penetrate, they cannot hurt, they will not harm any portion of my spirit, my heart, or my soul.

I desire that each day I open my Bible to read the word that I'm going to receive a fresh understanding, and a fresh revelation of who God is.
I desire to be continually aware of the character of Christ that is being poured into my life in order to be formed into the woman of God that I have been called to be, to bring glory and honor to His name.

I desire the word of God to dwell in me so richly and when the battles come there is no mistaking whom I serve.

I desire to pray with a fervency that never runs dry, to enthusiastically look forward to speaking to my Father each and every day.

I desire to know the Lord more intimately each and every day, not to grow lazy in sowing the seed of God’s word in my heart, but to know my God more today than I did yesterday, to love my God more today than I did yesterday, to see my God more today than I did yesterday and to hear my God's voice more clearly today then I did yesterday.

I desire to be jealous for the Lord just as He is jealous for me.

I desire to run and not grow weary to walk and not faint.

I desire to be a wife fully supportive, fully loving both towards my husband and towards my Heavenly Father.

I desire to have the type of  marriage that is flowing with a love for the Lord, a love for one another, and a love for others.
I desire to hold the the hands of my husband up in prayer, to lay him at the feet of Jesus so that He can work and move in his life freely without any limitations on my part.

I desire  to have the types of relationships I see in so many of the precious couples who set a beautiful example of biblical marriage.

I desire to be a mother full of love, one who is tenderhearted and compassionate towards her children.

I desire to be a mother that is overflowing with patience, one who nurtures a spirit of peace in the home.

I desire to be an example of what Jesus looks like, acts like, and sounds like to my children each and every day. I desire to be the mirror of Christ.

I desire to be a daughter full of wisdom hope, love and compassion.

I desired to be a daughter quick to see the needs, quick to respond, and quick to meet those needs.

I desire to be a sister who supports in prayer and who loves through her actions. One who rejoices in times of rejoicing and who mourns in times of  morning. One who is flowing with an abundance of love.

I desire to be a friend quick to listen slow to speak and slow to become angry.

I desire to be a woman of faith full of hope and overflowing with love and compassion.

I desire to be a neighbor who cares. A neighbor who meets needs. One who takes the time to talk with and cares for those around her.

I desire the types of relationships that are ever flowing with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness and self-control.

I desire to stand with the family of God in such a way that a I become inseparable, immovable and unshakable.

These are just a few of my hearts desires. I pray that by reading this list you too will be will be inspired to fan the flame in your heart, to fulfill the things that God has for you in each of your relationships. I pray that you are going to begin to see the things that God has for you, the people He wants you to influence, the places He wants you to go, the things He wants you to do, and the character He wants to build in your heart. May this little list influence you to grow in your heart a desire to go deeper with the Lord each and every day.
