Inspired by lyrics by Sue Riley and JD Martin, “My Heart’s Desire”My heart’s desire – God’s will for me of good and only good – has been right here all the time.
I am ready to live the dream that was always mine.
It is never too late to find my heart’s desire.
My good cannot be kept from me.
I am ready now, today, for my heart’s desire.
My heart’s desire (my spiritual birthright of infinite good) has always been right here for me and God wants me to accept it!
