Psalm 37:4 (NLT)
Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you your heart’s desires.
God wants more than we are giving Him, He wants more for our relationship with Him than just servitude. He doesn't want that to be the only way we show that we love Him. He wants passion. He wants us. He wants our heart. He wants it so that He can help us, not so that we can help Him. He doesn't need help, He can do all things.
He wants us to "take delight in Him" as the scripture says. (I really like how Nancy Grace writes this). "I want you to take delight in me like you savor a fine meal, like you linger in the presence of a good friend, like you celebrate the accomplishments of your child, like you look forward to a restful day of vacation." Why can't we love God in that kind of way, yet deeper? It's so easy to love and anticipate those little things? So why not love and anxiously anticipate every little and ginormous thing God is going to do for you? He is so much greater than all those little things like a good meal or day of vacation. Jump into life with Him! Do a cannonball right into the middle of the pool! God is the swimming pool! Don't hold anything back from Him! Just hop right in with all you've got! You will see how satisfied you will become with everything He is doing for you. You will feel Him fulfilling what your heart desires.
Final Thought: What are you holding back from God? What is keeping you from diving right into life with Him?
