My reading material this past week is about “desire”! I keep switching between a couple of books, but the fact of the matter is the topic stirs my passion in ways I cannot quite describe well. I used to equate passion with only sexual response or emotion; however to be stirred fully fires up the deeper realities of what passion brings. It’s about what lies within all of our hearts.
The longing to be loved, the longing to be wanted, the longing to be needed and yes the longing to be touched. How many of us have stopped “desiring” all we are meant to be? Thinking it was not possible anymore? Let’s see if I can hit on a few lies in how our minds might dismiss such notions…..age, I’m too old….circumstance, my course is already set…doubt, it will never happen….fear, I can never do that for myself?
My God, and I do mean that literally, when did we ever stop desiring all that could be ours? Who told us we couldn’t have it all when clearly the word tells us we can? Love, life, eternity…yeah, I want it all!
