I dont really see it that way. I see it more along the lines that desire is a human trait that we all have. It is not a negative trait that would make one imperfect. Do you not have desire to see your wife if you are married, or desire to want anything really. I see desire more like passion for something. God desires his Children to love him and also spread the word for him to those who dont know, or dont believe.
