The longing—to have the desires of your heart—is right. But the lie is that your heart can tell you exactly what those desires are. Instead, we are to obey the words of the psalmist: “Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.”35 Delight in God, and your desires will match His. And note the command: not “find yourself” but “delight yourself.” Note also the object: we are to find joy not in things but in the Lord.
