I had to laugh the other day
when I was in a coffee shop
and the chorus
"You can't always get what you want"
was playing.
I would say that to my children
when they wanted something,
but what they wanted
was something that wasn't the best for them.
It wasn't that mean, as I did say it in a nice way,
well actually I sang it, which was probably worse.
What do you want?
What do you really really want?
But what if
Just what if
you did get what you
wanted
always...
and what you really really
wanted
was to be
Wanted~
Wanted to be Wanted
Wanted to be Loved
Wanted to be Heard
Wanted to Seen
Wanted to be You
The you~
with your talents and gifts
with your quirks and imperfections~
Wanted...
Always!
But what if
You can get what you always wanted
because
the One Who created you
wanted
you in the first place~
whether you like it or not.
You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit,
and that your fruit would remain, so that
whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you. John 15:16
So what more could you
Want.
Wanted to be Wanted
and that is
Who you are...Always.
From Rags to Riches
WANTED...
