"Not 20 Resolutions! 20 Ways to Bless Others!"

You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. (Jeremiah 29:13)

From John Piper: "What do you long for God to do this year? If your desires are weak, and you are so numb from Christmas frenzy that you can’t feel, here are 30 desire starters. Prayer grows out of desire. God says, “Seek me with all your heart!”
