Daring to Desire

I am starting this blog as a sort of devotional from my perspective. I want to share my thoughts about the passages I read in the Living Word. I will use text from the Bible and other Christian writings. Through this I hope to become closer to God, gain the wisdom that I seek, and be molded into someone who is wild at heart. I pray that He will bring about a change in me so that I become humble as Christ was. I hope that He will use me to help someone else. It is our mission in life to spread the gospel. This is just one way that I can start doing my part in the Cause of Christ. The title of this first blog (and the name of this site) stems from a book I read by John Eldredge. It's called Dare To Desire, and it speaks of the yearnings that God places in our hearts. From a man's perspective, it is not the mundane desk job that makes us feel alive, but rather the dreams of adventure and love. A hike through the mountains, or just a simple camping trip can give us the freedom from the world that we desperately need to better hear the Father calling to us. It is this desire that keeps me staring out my window when I should be studying, or daydreaming about the ocean when I'm about to be late to class. Though it is necessary to take care of our responsibilities, we have to get out and do something that gets our blood pumping. Being in college, a simple break from the routine would just about do it. It's when we dare to desire that we really begin to see God working in us. I will elaborate more later. I hope you will be blessed by what you read here and, ultimately, that God is glorified in this.
