| Finding your heart's desire is a life-long journey |
The psalmist says, "Trust in the Lord and do good. And he will grant you your heart's desire." (37) This begs a question: do we really know what is our heart's desire? I think not. And I think that the search to find that desire is at the core of what drives our spiritual search in life.
It is the search to find that desire that pushes us to go beyond our comfort zone, take risks, dare to continue dreaming and never give up hope. It is the drive that keeps us dreaming our dreams. It is the fuel that does not let us be content with what is, but pushes us to continue to believe in the what if?
I truly believe that it is the search to find our heart's desire that is the pearl of great price, the treasure hidden in the field, the big catch at the wrong time of day that threatens to sink our little boat of "what is". It reminds us that our life is a journey, and that we should never stop seeking. It keeps us alive and energized, seeking truth and willing to make mistakes in our efforts to discover. The search is what deepens us as persons, and broadens us as spiritual beings. And just as the Divine Being is never done with creation, but continues to draw new out of old, so should we be.
For living life as a continued search requires trusting in the Lord. As as the psalm says, we will be granted our heart's desire.
