defined by what we desire

A fellow decided to get rid of a bamboo tree in his yard. He chopped it down, removed the root system, then paved it over with cement. Two years later, he was astonished to see a small green bamboo shoot pushing up through the cement. We have something like that inside ourselves. It is our desiring heart.
“To be human is to be on the move, pursuing something, after something. We are like existential sharks, we have to move to live. We’re defined by what we desire, not what we know.” - K.A. Smith
Affirmative prayer: An unquenchable desire for life within me propels the leadings of my heart to fulfillment. I am resourced by Divine energy, guided by pure love, and made wise and thoughtful by Infinite Mind. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.
