Our Heart’s Desires

Ephesians 1:17-18 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, 18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

Our hearts ache for others to “get it”
Our hearts desire is for others to possess what we do
Our hearts desire is for God to pursue those we pursue
Our hearts desire is for others lives to be transformed.

We want to witness the change only Jesus can make
We want to witness the security of eternal paradise
We want to witness the boldness of the saint
We want to witness the work of God before us.

A security of our own salvation lies in this passage
A security lies in the depth of these desires
A security lies in the boldness to proclaim and not just claim
A security lies in the level of our love for the lost.

We don’t understand the predestination of the chosen
We don’t understand the sovereignty of God
We don’t understand why our words don’t save
We don’t understand but trust our Lord and Savior.

Do we have a heart such as Paul
Do we pray continually for those such as he
Do we live with the boldness anywhere our feet may be
Do we focus only on eternity and not the temporary?

Who is around you in your circle of influence
Who has God given you to disciple
Who may you invest in prayer such as Paul
Who may God use you to change eternally?

Are you using the gift He has given you
Are you seeking God daily in prayer and his Word
Are you seeking the wisdom and riches he will give
Are you seeking him with all your heart, mind, body, and soul?

The life of a disciple asks themselves these questions
The life of a disciple possesses these traits
The life of a disciple seeks and prays such as Paul
The life of a disciple seeks to draw glory to God in all that do.
