God's Plans

by Max Lucado

Enjoy serving the Lord,

and he will give you what you want.

Psalm 37:4

"When we submit to God's plans, we can trust our desires. Our assignment is found at the intersection of God's plan and our pleasures. What do you love to do? What brings you joy? What gives you a sense of satisfaction?

Some long to feed the poor. Others enjoy leading the church.

Each of us has been made to serve God in a unique way.

The longings of your heart, then, are not incidental; they are critical messages. The desires of your heart are not to be ignored; they are to be consulted. As the wind turns to weather vane, so God uses your passions to turn your life. God is too gracious to ask you to do something you hate."

Oh, and how my passions have truly turned my life...
