Today we're continuing our series "Matters of the Heart" as we work our way through
the Psalms to help us develop and maintain emotional wellness by learning how to honestly
process our emotions in a healthy way.
In today's video I want to talk about desire.
Desire is that strong feeling of wanting something or wanting something to happen.
We're going to go ahead in jump right into the scripture for today.
Today's Psalm is Psalm 37:4 which reads:
"Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart."
Let me start with this, desire is not bad.
When we are aligned with God's will for our lives today's scripture tells us God will
give us the desires of our heart.
The problem occurres when we are not connected to God.
When we're not in fellowship with Him.
In these cases seeking out what we desire could very well mean leading us further away
from Him.
The key to managing our feelings of desire is not to simply seek what we want but to
seek God, to delight ourselves in Him.
Matthew 6:33 says "seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things
will be given to you as well."
(NIV)
God has not forgotten your needs and desires, He simply asks that you seek Him first because
when we don't this when our desires get out of control.
And we can see that desire can cause the most dysfunction when it comes to relationships.
And believe me I've experienced my fair share of misguided desire that has led to heartbreak,
confusion, and drama.
However when I met my husband in college I remember being instantly attracted to him.
I desired to want to know him more and I was feeling the brotha.
But this time I didn't manipulate and compromise my values to satisfy my desire.
Why?
Because I was not in theses streets thirsty.
I had learned my lesson when it came to managing my desires and I was full on God.
Did I want to be with my husband?
Absolutely.
But if it didn't work out I wasn't going to be in a state of desperation because I wasn't
going to walk away empty handed.
I delighted in the Lord and that was enough.
But when we're empty of God our cravings for what we want become uncontrolled and unhealthy.
And even now married if I don't stay satisfied in God I can get back into a desperate state
that will place unrealistic expectations on my husband and hinder my marriage.
Think of ordering at a restaurant.
If you're super hungry you're going to order more than you need.
You may spend more money than you planned to spend only to realize the meal was not
everything you though it would be.
This is what unchecked desire looks like.
It takes more than you want or have to give.
Think about what it is that you desire.
There's nothing wrong with wanting what you want as long as it is not sinful.
The last thing I want you to do is lie to yourself about what you want because you fear
not getting it.
One of the most important things you can do to maintain your emotional stability is by
being honest about how you feel.
If you want to be married, admit that.
If you do or don't want kids, don't be afraid to confess that.
If you desire a particular career path or dream say it.
In many ways God has placed these desires on our hearts and it's one of the ways God
speaks to us.
To not listen to our desires may mean missing out on something God has for us.
There are too many times I almost sabotaged a blessing God was trying to grant me because
I wasn't sure God would give me what I wanted, I lived in the false thinking that to show
God I love Him I had to sacrifice everything I desired until I had a friend tell me "Christina,
sometimes God gives you what you want" and I realized maybe God placed that desire there
because that was the direction He wanted me to go in anyway.
But if we're never honest about what we want we can't be led by God in this way.
I'm not saying only be led by your feelings, I'm saying that sometimes God does use our
feelings to guide us.
So we need discernment to know the difference.
So how do we navigate these seasons where we want something we don't have yet?
We ensure that we delight ourselves in the Lord as today's scripture tells us.
If we want to maintain a healthy desire we must be filled by God least we become so thirsty
our desires start to control us when we should control our desires.
When we think of what we desire we really don't want that thing or person.
We want what we perceive it will grant us; peace, security, comfort, acceptance.
When we have peace, we won't trip over the pressure of striving for more money, fame,
attention, likes, or a man.
When we have security we won't be tempted to compromise our values.
When we have joy we won't become distracted by temporary pleasures that won't last.
Know if you don't get anything from this video get this: all these things; joy, security,
acceptance are already yours in Christ.
We find safety and joy and serenity not in the things of this world but in God.
Psalm 119:2 reminds us
"Joyful are those who obey his laws and search for him with all their hearts."
(NLT)
When we delight ourselves in God we realize we already have what it is we desire.
And when you realize that your cup is already full you won't be so thirsty and wasting time
trying to fill it with knock offs.
Don't miss what God has for you by desiring what you already have.
Today I want to encourage you to fill up on God.
Think about what that looks like for you.
Making more time to read your Bible, starting to go back to church or serve in Church, praying
more, maybe even a fast if the Holy Spirit leads.
Just don't be out here in these streets thirsty if you don't have to be.
Delight yourself in the Lord and see if He won't fulfill those desires.
Now it's your turn to chat on this Beloved!

How to create Bootstrap Modal Dialogue Box – Part 2 - Duration: 5:38.
Now we are pressing F12 again.
So we can see that this is the div class modal-header.
Let's put a background color here and see what it appears like, how it looks
like.
For say this one.
Now we can see that we can successfully change this background color of this model title
that means, the header part.
So all we need to do now we need to copy this class name.
Close it, get back here under this banner5, now we have to use a background color.
Here...
So this is what we are going to do, just copying this color code.
Press control + s, get back to your project and reload and now you can see that we have
successfully changed this top color.
Now if you want to leave a margin-bottom over here you may do it easily.
We are leaving a margin bottom of 1em.
There you go.
I think it requires some more content over here so...
All we are doing now we are placing some more contents inside, press control + s, get back
to your project and reload.
Now up to this far it is alright.
Now we have to provide some background colour into this
text element that we have placed over here.
Press F12.
Large model.
Press the arrow selector, click on it.
And you can see that it is now executing its properties
over here.
These paragraph elements those are practically coming into this modal-content.
We need to copy this class name here, modal-content and inside this custom.css,
this one, press control + s, reload, and you can see it is practically working.
So that is what we need to change here.
Any paragraph element that will come below this modal-content and in turn which will
be coming below this Banner5, it will be having this background
property.
So Press control + s, and reload and now you can see that it is practically working.
So this is the thing that we practically need to do over here when I have to
push on through this.
Reload and you can see that everything is working.
Now we need to change this background color so we are going back to this one, this pink
color.
And instead of this one replace it with this one now we can see that it is practically
been changed.
You have successfully obtained your desired result that
you wish to have.
And in the same manner if you want to pour some contents over here in this extreme left
and extreme right box, here in this part, then all you need
to do just get back to your project index.html copy this one, place it over here.
Reload and we can see that it is perfectly working.
You can put anything inside it.
You can put a form element, you can put a table element.
Things that is remaining over here is to put some kind of footer element as you have seen
over here, in this photo element we can see that there is practically a
close button, so will be using this close button only, and nothing else.
And there goes this div class modal footer.
So all we need to do we need to copy it inside this modal content, here it is, modal-content,
reload and you can see that it is practically working.
All we need to do we need to remove this 'save changes' option,
we don't need any 'save changes' here, all we need, we need to use that close button
only.
You may change this to button-primary, or you may change the button-warning,
here it is.
Get back to your project reload and you can see that it is working, data is getting dismissed
as you can see.
And in case if you want to change the background color of this footer element, then in the
same procedure, that is pressing F12 and selecting all those
things you need to change this one you need to identify the right class that is practically
in action over here.
And then all you need to do you need to just change
the background color and everything and every all of those attributes, those are needed
to be changed.
In this manner you can create any kind of modal elements over here and you can put any
kind of contents, whatever it is, would be a table it could be a form element
or it could be a simple text or images, anything you want to put over here you can always put
it and you can change this grid-alignment.

HyunA shared the most rebellious moment in her career. - AMAZING NEWS - Duration: 2:07.
HyunA shared the most rebellious moment in her career.
She was asked if she ever rebelled before.
She answered, Hmm which one should I say? Theyre all really strong.
It was when I was filming a teaser for the title track Because Im The Best from my 4th mini album. She continued, The CEO of the company wanted me to do music that showed my cocky side because Im a little sensitive.
So I thought to myself that I should definitely try to deviate away from my sensitive personality.
To film the teaser, I went out with foreign friends in Los Angeles to just drink, party, etc., and I went topless. To this information, the cast of the show was shocked.
HyunA explained, I attempted such a move because I thought to myself Why am I being suppressed at my most beautiful age? I need to break it.
I think it was really enjoyable because of the fact that I was able to rebel and release this kind of a project..
When asked where this video is located, HyunA said it was on YouTube.
Hearing this, Kang Ho Dong quickly replied, Lets search for it on YouTube!.
