I bless your desires
To become increasingly
God-shaped
And God-sized.
“… eagerly desire
The spiritual gifts,” (1 Cor. 14:1)
Paul cries out.
May His gifts
Become your desire.
May you hunger
For God’s kind of food.
Desire His gifts.
Not demand,
But Desire.
Not idolize,
But expect.
I bless the eagerness
Of your desire
To be empowered
And equipped by the Spirit.
May your longing
Match God’s yearning—
May your thirst
Mirror God’s outpouring.
Grow,
Desire for God,
Grow.
