Desire can be explained in many ways. Whether it is the passion consuming your emotions for something out of your reach or whether it’s appetite for the delights that have been given to you, desire is a powerful emotional force.
Desire has unfortunately been given a bad report by many, in an effort to combat the world’s influences, it has been misunderstood. Many confusing and variable reports have often misled people on to conflicting paths.
Paul understood the glory of desire, in his writing to the Church at Ephesus he wrote, ““that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.” His desire was an all consuming fire to experience everything that Christ had given to him.
Paul was immersed into a fountain of eternal grace, that overwhelmed and overflowed out of his life. The desire to be aware of his eternal union in Christ dominated his thoughts, satisfied his soul and was lived out by his actions.
We were made for intimate spiritual communion with God. The only thing that really satisfies the desire of our raging hearts is the taste of eternity deposited within us.
We have everything we need, our source of happiness, contentment, fulfillment and joy in the person of Christ. Everyone who is in Christ lacks nothing, all has been provided by God through grace and we trust in his finished work.
