A Real True and Living Desire
What actually is to desire?
the dictionary says 'to wish or to long'
it's not a neutral thought of not caring
for it empowers you always to belong
When you want something or someone
there's empowerment within your heart
nothing will you allow to stop you
to achieve this goal, not even someone smart
Every obstacle that comes your way
you'll jump that hurdle like no other
in your desire to be that one winner
whatever it takes even win your brother
There's a bad desire one needs to avoid
that leads to sin and lusts of the flesh
which one day God will judge in truth
no one can escape it as God says void
God blesses desires that exalt His name
a real true and living desire
ones that show God in the true light
so our souls eternal surely will never tire
(The meaning of the word desire and what it means to me.)
