Desire

 What do you Desire?

 There are many things
which we may desire
within our lives.

All people have desires;
each individuals' desires
will never always be
the same of that of 
another.

Some have desires towards
their employment, it could
be a desire for promotion
or it also could be a 
desire to seek a
new career.

Others still may have desires
towards partnership
with another individual,
with the longer term desire
for possible marriage.

There are many things which
we can desire that are far
too many to mention.

However, besides having a desire
for the things which
may be good for us,
people can also have
desires for that
which is not good for
them or possibly others.

As Christians we realise
the truth of this, for we 
understand that there
can be with all people
a desire for sin.

This can of course
come in many different ways,
things and so also desires.
The desire for sin is
always evident in man.

But the closer we get to God,
the more we allow ourselves
to become submissive and 
also obedient to him,
the more we live by his Word,
then the more this desire
changes.

Our desires then begin more
to become as he desires us
to be; we begin to have a
greater desire to do
whatever we are able to do for him,
and whatever we can for others.

Godly desires are something
we need within our hearts,
minds and lives; they are
something that spurs us on
in our walk with God and 
in our work for him.

So let us within our
lives more and more learn
not to allow ourselves to
fall into desires that are
wrong for us, but move
more towards desiring
to be more like
Jesus.

Listening

 Do people always listen?  One thing that is certain is that people want to be heard. We all want people to listen to what we have to say, whether they are someone that we know well or not. There can of course be many different topics of conversation,  dependant upon your listeners one subject may be more interesting than another to some. But sometimes when an individual is talking, they can tell that the one they are speaking to is not really listening. It could be that they may have other things upon their minds at that time or it could be that they just are not interested in what is said. Within the Church though, can this or does this happen?  When we speak to other Christians within the Church to which we belong, we should expect them to listen. Also we should also ourselves be prepared to listen to  what people say, it may be that they have a need of either advice or just some...

Something New

 Do you try anything new?  When a thing is new, it holds interest and can catch the attention of many. Whereas, when something is not new it needs sometimes a new way of doing it, something that will catch peoples' attention once again. What new things catch your attention? This can  be different for many people, a s people have different  interests, likes and dislikes. For some it can be a new car, for others it can be a new house, or possibly  for some it could be a new job. It may also be a new type of food which you have never tasted before, or a new hobby. Perhaps a new television or computer that comes out catches your attention, o r a new film or song that has been released.  Within the Church there can be new things, but also sometimes it can appear that there has not been anything new for some time. It is of course important to bring new things and ideas into the Chu...

Commands

How many commands have you broken? There possibly are quite a  few commands which we have received within our lives. Some of the commands which we may have received though we may not quite take  as a command, or understand that it was  an actual command. In peoples' careers or places of employment, sometimes a command is given to an employee and it may not be seen as such or taken as a request  or suggestion. There are also those who are in authority, such as  politicians or those within the military who also give commands, but these expect to be obeyed. Which of course they  should be, and unless the individual wishes to be reprimanded in  some way, their commands  are followed. Why though within the Church do some not  then follow the same  example, as for example soldiers who follow their commanding officers' commands as they are given. This of course...
