In Touch, the teaching ministry of Dr. Charles Stanley.

Next on In Touch, God's loving desire for you.

Do you realize that God has a very specific plan for your life,

that he has not just left you here to flounder through life and wander around trying to

figure out what you're going to do or how you're going to spend your life. You see

most of us have the idea that God is got of this great vast universe and how in the world could he be personally

interested in one of us.

But if you recall in the Sermon on the Mount what Jesus said, he said, for example, that even the sparrow that falls, the birds of the air that he provides for,

he says, aren't you more important than sparrows than birds?

Then he said, for example, take the lilies of the field and the grass of the

field. If God takes care of them, does he not also take care of us? And all through that passage in the sixth chapter he is talking about his

personal interest in us and that we don't have to worry because God is genuinely

interested in whatever concerns us.

Well, I don't know all of God's will for anyone else's life,

but this I do know that God has certain desires for your life and my life and that is the theme

of this message and the title of the message is this God's loving desire for you and I

want you to turn if you you will, the First Timothy, and in First

Timothy the Second chapter, Paul is talking about worship in the church and praying and

in the midst of that he tells us something here concerning

God's desire for us that I think you'll be helpful if you and I understood this because

It'll make a difference in how we see ourselves, how we see

God, how we look at life.
