My four year old found out that the fair was in town. She was excited to go. She told me as soon as i got home from work. Her eyes were bright with hopeful anticipation. That night she reminded me that the fair was town. She had one request… she wanted to ride the ferris wheel. I told her that I would think about it and we went to bed. That morning at 5:00, I was getting ready for work and she was up thinking about ridding the ferris wheel.
In life, we all have things that we desire, but when it comes from a pure heart our heavenly father loves to grant these requests. I want to allow her to go on the ferris wheel but there are some things preventing it. Her size, her being afraid, the cost, my size not being able to get on it with her and other unknown things. God is all powerful so nothing prevents him from granting us our desires, but us.
It may not be the best thing that we desire. It may hurt us. We may not have a pure motive in our desire. There are so many things that prevent God from granting us our desires.
Psalms 37:4 KJV
Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
As I drove to work that morning I wanted to give my daughter her desire to ride the ferris wheel, but I didn’t know that it would work out. A simple request, but many variables. So I talked to God. I asked him to allow her to ride the ferris wheel. I think she will have a great time.
