As I have grown in my spiritual life through study of scripture and prayer, the Lord has given me a new insight recently. I have been impatient and hurt by God because, although scripture says God will give us our heart's desire, it is not happening for me.
Since I know that God cannot love me more, and that He doesn't need to prove anything to me, then I must be the one who needs to prove my love for Him. So lately I have been asking Him to open my heart. It's not Him I should have issues with when I don't get my heart's desire, it's me. I need to change. So recently, I have been asking Him to open my hardened heart to be submissive to His will.
He wants my heart to belong only to Him and for it to be a natural heart, not a stony heart.
I ask you Lord to take away my hardened heart and give me a natural heart. I know only then that my joy will be full. I know then my joy will have no end. I will know by this joy that I have arrived at the place in my spiritual journey where my Father will say "Well done good and faithful servant." In His will is my peace.
