RE: Denzel Washington: "True desire in the heart for anything good is God’s proof to you sent beforehand to indicate that it’s yours already."
That's not true. Our desires don't necessarily come from God. Just because we have them doesn't mean God will grant them.
(James 4:1-3 NIV) What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you? {2} You want something but don't get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God. {3} When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.
I don't think it was meant as a theological statement, but still... He says good desires, not all desires! A desire to help the poor, to support the needy, to build a business that will meet a need, can all be good desires from God. Such desires are very different from a desire for a new Lambo, a larger house, and more money in the bank account!
Thank you for your feedback!:)
