There is one
promise contained in the Bible that is sure to keep even the
most pessimistic of all standers hopeful. It can be found in the
Book of Psalms 37:4
"Delight in the
Lord and He will give thee the desires of thine heart"
Does it get any better than that? When you have reached this
point and you SINCERELY delight in God, He PUTS the desires in
your heart and then sets out to fulfill them. A sincere delight
in God and His constant presence in your life, a true belief and
obedience to the guidelines He has set forth in His word and a
righteous life are what delighting in Him is all about.
When you have reached this point you will have established a
true trust in Him. It is all down hill from here. By delighting
in Him you are content knowing He is in control of the whole
situation. His grace and nearness fill the void of your lost
love and until that person returns God is sufficient for you.
The best part about it is once you have learned to delight in
Him you find it is impossible to not have Him in your life front
and center. This makes for a wonderful miracle and a lifetime of
blessings that you weren't even aware of before you started your
journey. The closer you draw to Him the clearer His will for you
becomes, it is easier to see if what you are praying for lines
up with His will for you. Now don't get nervous, if you've been
reading your Bible then you already have a good idea of what His
general will for us is. Some of the things we KNOW aren't
acceptable are pinning over a married lover, asking to be
reunited with a person who is abusing you or causing you to stay
separated from Him, etc.
When you delight in God, you see Him in everything. You have
developed spiritual vision which is necessary for living a
righteous life. Delighting in God is a lot easier said than done
and you have to remember that no matter how much you SAY you
delight in Him, your heart is an open book of which He reads to
see what your true intentions are. He KNOWS when you sincerely
delight in Him and once you do it is only a matter of time
before the answers to your hearts most intense desires are
fulfilled.
Ask God to help you learn how to Delight in Him...He will.
