Day 23: Wanted Needs


What do you WANT~

and I mean ANYTHING,

and if you asked for it

you WILL get it?

Oh I know something came to your mind instantly

and it does not have to be something CHRISTIAN~ESE

as we all WANT what we WANT when we WANT it

and oh how great life would be if we all got what we WANT

when we WANTED it~

Wouldn't it?

But what if you ask for _______

but instead you get ________

are you really not getting what you asked for?

“Which of you, if your son asks for bread,

will give him a stone?

Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?" (Matthew 7:9-11)

I don't like snakes.

But sometimes it feels like I am getting a snake when I ask for a fish.

But does that mean that GOD isn't listening to my HEART WANTS?

Oh I WANT

and

I may sound

CHRISTIAN~ESE

because what I always really WANT

is

HIS PEACE that transcends all understanding,

because when I experience HIS PEACE

I do have all that I WANT

because it is all that I really NEED.

Think about it.

What if you weren't

ANXIOUS about anything?

Think about it

especially in the midst of

I WANT what I WANT when I WANT it,

but instead I am getting what I really NEED.

HIS PEACE that transcends all understanding

is like wearing flip flops in the middle of a snow storm

and your toes are not feeling the cold

as they are actually feeling quite toasty.

Oh HIS PERFECT PEACE~

“YOU will keep in perfect and constant peace the one whose mind is

steadfast [that is, committed and focused on YOU—in both inclination and character],

Because he trusts and takes refuge in YOU [with hope and confident expectation]" (Isaiah 26:3)

HIS PERFECT PEACE

is what I WANT when I WANT it

because it is what I NEED when I am WANTING

what I haven't received.

HIS PERFECT PEACE

transcends all understanding

because how do you explain

PERFECT STILLNESS

in the midst of a storm

with one WORD~

JESUS~

because HE IS all I WANT when I am NEEDING something else

because HE IS all I NEED when I am WANTING what I WANT when I WANT it

because I am

and you are washed in

HIS "PEACE" (listen to the song below)






If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!
