Isaiah 44:6-8, 21-23

• How do you respond to the desire God has for you?

Let God’s desires become your desires. When my wife and I were dating, we realized we had completely different hobbies and interests, even though we were already in love with each other. It felt like our interests were opposite of each other, even clashing sometimes. Things changed for us when we began to take time for each other’s interests. We opened our hearts and minds to them, and we soon realized we began to share interests and enjoy each other’s interests personally. Now, this did not work for everything, but for the ones it did, it felt special. That’s why I watch reality TV sometimes, and she’s seen some anime. When we let God’s desires become our desires, we will begin to live out God’s guidance through our own choices. Relationship comes first–it starts with love, then it turns into collaboration.
