What do you desire?

There is a wonderful verse in Hebrews that talks about our desires.
"Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them." Hebrews 11:16
God is not ashamed of those that desire what He has prepared for them. If we desire something we usually buy it, make it, ask someone to give it to us as a gift, steal it or obtain it through our own efforts. However, God first made the inheritance for us and then we are to desire it above all else. His part was to make it. Our part is to desire it. The result is that He will not be ashamed to be called our God.
