 'Thou openest thine hand and satisfiest the desire of every living things' (Psalm145 16).

All living things created by God have needs. However, man's needs also create desires. It is God who is our Provider and He promises to supply all our needs both physical and spiritual. God's goodness is great, it is His goodness and mercy that shall follow us all the days of our lives. When God open hIs hand all creation is satisfied. He makes the rain to fall and the sun to shine  upon the earth as He provides for the needs of every living thing. God does not give grudgingly, nor does He gives sparingly. In famine or of scarcity, He opens His hand, in good and bad times  His hand is open to satisfy us. For those who love God, He is the object of their desires. For those who seeks after righteousness, He is the object of their desire to be righteous. He will seek to fulfil those desires we are after. Whatever we desire to have of God, God will grant it to us. So when we hear the word of God, we ought to surrender ourselves totally to it, with a willingness to retain it in our heart and live according to it, as the Holy Spirit dwells in our heart. God is love and we love Him because He first loved us. So when we desire God, it is because He first desire us. Do you desire God? Is your desire to love God? Today, He is calling us to have the desire to come home to Him. Will you? Allow God to breathe Himself in you, to fill you with His love and your longing for righteousness. God is opening His hand to bless you, to give you the desires of your heart, to supply your longings. Won't you trust and believe in Him with all of your heart? Just know your heavenly Father knows what you are in need of before you ask him. But He wants to communicate with you and as you ask, your thoughts about your desires will be clearer.

Have a wonderful day🌹🌹

 'But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you' (Matthew 6:33). The Lord is our Provider and knows all that we are in need of before we even ask. We do not need to worry or fret ourselves about what we shall eat or drink. Our Father in heaven will take care of these things we need. We are told by Jesus, 'To seek first the kingdom of God.' What does that mean? It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him  rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by  loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and

 'I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you' (John 14:18). Jesus is awesome and full of compassion. He loved his disciples and wanted them to understand about His death and resurrection; that He would be going away for a while. He knew they would be confused and devastated, so he hastened to comfort them. He said, 'Let not your heart be troubled: Ye believe in God, believe also in me...I go to prepare a place for you...I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am there ye may be also' (John 14:1-3). He also promised another Comforter, that he can abide with them forever. What a merciful and loving Saviour! He went further to say he would not leave them comfortless; but will come to them. He was like a father to them, as He and the Father are one. Therefore, He promised not to leave them fatherless, or as an orphan. But will come to them. Speaking of His death and resurrection He said that in a little while the world would not see him no more

 'In your patience possess ye your souls' (Luke 21:19). In the last days we will suffer afflictions, persecutions and be reproach of men. We will be betrayed even by our own families and friends, as they hand us over to our persecutors to save themselves.  God is saying to us, that we should be patient as we bear these burdens and afflictions, by possessing peace and joy in our souls which no one  cannot take away. Our hope and life is in Christ Jesus, and when we hold steadfast unto him, allowing the Holy Spirit to dwell in us and work through us; we will let nothing disturb our peace  or distress our soul. In isolation, it may seem daunting and a difficult task to be joyful and enjoy ourselves in such dire circumstances. However, when Christ is in us the Holy Spirit will empower us and give us the endurance and perseverance to enjoy our souls. The Word of God said, "...we shall be hated of all men for my name's sake; but he that endureth to the end shall be saved&quo
