What does your heart desire?...

The thought of surrendering our lives completely to God can be quite an unnerving thing to do for both christians and non-christians.  But why is it we are afraid?  Do we think God will make us do things that will make us unhappy?  And where does this feeling and idea come from? Because no where does it say that in any scriptures, infact it states the opposite; 'Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart' Psalm 37:4 ...Surely if our hearts desires were fulfilled we would truly be living our life to the fullest and at our most happy?  So why have so many of us lived like this is a bad thing, something we don't want?  ...For me it was the struggle of admitting that I might not know the best way to live my own life, because thats what it was -mine.  Only I should know how to live my life to the fullest...right?!
It's hard to believe or accept that Gods plans could be better than our own plans.  But what we might not think about is that many of these dreams and desires in our hearts were planted there by God Himself and He is even more eager to see them come to pass than we are.  One man put it this way, 'God will choose for you what you would choose for yourself, if you had enough sense to choose it!'  Scripture says, 'For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future' Jeremiah 29:11. 
 God wants us to know that he His plans are the greatest plans for our lives, and the more we give up to the Lord, the more we trust in him, the more we will see His plans unfold and the more we will experience the joyful, fruitful abundant life that Jesus spoke about.  So ask yourself, how much of your life you give up to God... If you haven't given Him any control in your life, maybe its time to ask yourself if you are really living your life the way your heart desires it to be lived?...Are you completely content and happy?...Or are there gaps, things missing in your life?  God has incredible plans for every single person, you just have stop resisting and instead surrender to Him -in turn He will fulfil your hearts desires.  
Sometimes we don't realise what our lives are missing, until we have it...
