Psalm 37:4 (NIV)

Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Often misunderstood, God promises to give us the desires of our heart. There are two shades of meaning to that, though. I once wanted to be a cowboy - that was the desire of my heart. I was then a child, but am now a man, and when I asked God into my heart He gave me the desires of my heart. I'll probably never be a cowboy (and part of me is sad for that, maybe) but the chief desire of my heart is to do the will of my Lord and God and not cause Him any more pain. That's the desire He gave me, and the desire He will grant, as long as I delight in Him.
