Heart's Desire

I love to share this story about how God answered my prayer in a magnificent way!

Over the years I've taken many pictures of doe and fawn, but hardly any of buck. So one November I prayed a special prayer: "Lord, You've given me many opportunities to take pictures of doe and fawn, but I've got very few pictures of buck. Please give me some opportunities to take pictures of buck."

I forgot about this prayer until the next summer when eight buck came up to our back fence to eat corn that we put out. Actually, they came up every morning and every evening for three months: July, August and September! Every day! All eight buck!

That August I remembered the prayer I had prayed the November before and got goose bumps! To think, God answered my prayer by bringing these guys up to my back fence.

I had never seen more than three buck at one time. They just don't travel in big groups. So this was especially awesome to have eight buck together.  When God provides a miracle He does it BIG!

If you discern God's love in every moment of happiness, you will multiply a thousandfold your capacity to fully enjoy your blessings." Frances J. Roberts

Psalm 21:2

"You have granted him his heart's desire and have not withheld the request of his lips."

Biblerepository.com: This verse from Psalms is a powerful reminder of how God answers prayers and fulfills the desires of our hearts. When we read this verse, we can see that it speaks of a divine promise--one that God always hears us when we call out to Him. It shows us that God is not distant but is very much involved in our lives. The idea that our heart's desire can be met is comforting. It's comforting to know that God listen to us and truly wants to give us good things. When we think about the times we've prayed for things, this verse can reassure us that God is aware of our needs and desires.

Even a prayer as simple as asking to see buck . . .
