The huge difference between NEED and WANT …
There are many things that I want but don’t need, while there are some things that I need but don’t want. The unending struggle between my desires or wants, and those things that are essential and needed, are what make life, any life, so complex and unrelenting.
Many of us are torn by not having those things that we passionately want, and willingly sacrifice our joy and our eternal existence, to possess those things that are divisive and objectionable. God has promised to meet our needs and because of His enormous love, He has sacrificed to see that are needs are met. The one thing that is really humbling about wants and needs is that Jesus doesn’t need me but He still wants me. He wants to give me an abundant life. There are so many that don’t want God or Jesus, but that doesn’t change or eradicate the fact that they really need Him. To arrive at a point of true peace and contentment, our wants and needs must be the same. We must accept God for who He is and willingly place our faith and trust in Him and His promise to provide. As we live we will consider Jesus to be one of the three; a liar, a lunatic, or our Lord, which one do you consider or want Him to be?
