V (Verse) - Psalm 37:4 "Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart."

O (Own Words/Observation) - God has the biggest and best dreams, way cooler than we can imagine, already planned out for our lives! :) He's the One who created us for those dreams. When we are walking with Jesus in a surrendered relationship (delighting in Him), our hearts become purified by His truth and His super-amazing love!! It is there that we can see that God's plans for us are sooooo good -- we begin to desire and want those plans for our lives.

L (Live it) - We all want things and have dreams for our own lives, right? God wants to give us what we want just because He loves us. So often I THINK I know what I want and I begin to chase after it. For some reason I can't get it or once I do, I realize it isn't really what I really wanted. God sees my heart and understands it better than I do, He knows what I truly want and need. Instead of dreaming on my own, I will delight in God FIRST, trusting that His plans are better than mine. He will lead me safely to the desires of my heart.

T (Talk to God) - Lord, thank You for loving me so much that You want the best life for me. Thank You for giving me Your Word that guides my heart to the awesome and fun dreams that You have planned for my life. :) Help me to be delighting in You always, so that my desires line up with Yours. God, You are the greatest desire of my heart, my treasure!
