Desire = Behavior
Jeremy Camp, one of my fave artists, sings "My Desire" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04wLNGk8xxg, its chorus reverberating in my ears... one has to take a listen. In my day-to-day meandering, it's not what I think of but I ought to. As one author said, the flesh and the Spirit operate on the level of desire. What I want dictates what I do, and until what I want begins to change my behavior will not change. If I make it my desire to please God and be used by Him, then my hope is that my heart will be transformed. And if what I really want is to live according to His will then I pray for that desire in my heart to translate into thoughts and actions... it's never easy but it's worth the energy!
