Delight yourself also in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him and He will bring it to pass.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When looking at Destiny we have seen that the desires of our hearts are vitally connected. This verse has always been a fascination and a comfort and encouragement to me. Firstly, I see that God will give me the desires of my heart as I remain connected in Him, trusting, leaning and relying on Him. So all the things I have burning in my heart God wants to bring them to pass. But then as I looked closer and listened to His voice, the Holy Spirit shared with me that He puts them in our hearts in the first place. Oh wow what an amazing thought, God knows why He made us, for what purpose He gave us life and what the gifting, passion and purpose of our destiny is. It is all resident in our hearts from the time He was forming us and as we rest confidently in Him He will bring them all to the light and begin to bring them to pass in and through us.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Not only does God want us to know these desires but He also wants to help us as they come to pass. This is the constant presence and leading and guiding of the Lord in our daily lives as we walk our path of destiny.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>What if we were given the chance to share what the one thing is we desperately want to do on this earth is? what would that be? Could that be one of the desires that God has placed in our hearts and wants to fulfil? Is it to be married or have a child, or climb a mountain, open a school, or minister to the sick and suffering? Yes, God is interested in every part of our lives and the many desires we have could all be part of His destiny he wants us to walk.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Some of these are for ourselves, you might say, \u201cisn\u2019t that selfish?\u2019 Well God says He has given us all things to enjoy, so He is interested in our fulfilment too. So often though along the way we meet people who we can bless and impact because God has made sure that we are in the right place at the right time, doing the right things in order to meet the right people. This is all part of Destiny. Remember Destiny is a process not a destination. The more we are focussed on staying connected to Him the more our steps will be ordered by the Lord and the more we will walk out our Destiny.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Once you are beginning to sense more clearly the desires of your heart and figuring out which ones were placed there by Him. The next step is finding out how to prepare yourself for walking out your Destiny with excellence.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Talk more next time. Be blessed as you discover and accept the desires of your heart.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>-Pastor Lindsey Lefebure<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ps 37:3-5 \u201cTrust in the Lord and do good; so shall you dwell in the land and feed surely on His faithfulness, and truly you shall be fed.
