Desires

Today’s Reflection

Clearly God does not want us to ignore our longings, push them aside, or put them to death. Indeed, the exact opposite is true. God wants us to listen to the desires of our hearts, to befriend them, to understand them.

—Trevor Hudson, Questions God Asks Us (Upper Room Books 2008)
