Always seek peace between your heart and God, but in this world, always be careful to remain ever-restless, never satisfied, and always abounding in the work of the Lord.

Jim ElliotDesire is the putting of my will into Godโs concern. Itโs not a passive, sitting back in your easy chair, folding your arms sort of thing, which says, 'Well, Iโm willing, if God would only give me a good swift kick and send me.' Thatโs willingness all right. But God doesnโt want willingness, He wants will! He wants your will put behind those desires.
