I want that!..but do I need it?

I want that! I want this! Have you ever thought about how we are always wanting this and that. Especially now, with all the new technological developments that have been created. People want the newest cell phone, the newest car, or even just a car. Some want a little money here and there, or even to just be with that girl/boy thats been on your mind for the past week. We are always wanting things, no matter how big, or small it is. Sometimes we want something so badly that we pray for it. We ask God, can I please have that car? And we either might get it, or not. Who knows. I'll to you who does, God does, and you know what else He knows? He knows what you NEED, and that's more important to Him than something you want.

Okay, so today, I took my driver's test to get my license, and I was praying to God the night before and today. I would ask Him, "please God, let me pass, allow me to get this license. If it is your will, then please let it happen." But in the end, I failed, again. Yeah, again. You know, I really want my license too. So, I was really bummed that I didn't get it, but you know, it took me a while to get my head out of the blue, but, I remembered. God knows what I really need. I mean, sure, it could also be the possibility that Satan is at work here, preventing me from getting my license, or it could alse be my fault, but i will get into detail more about Satan and other stuff in another blog.

Back to what i was saying, God knows what I need. He knows what you need. I mean, this is God. He is all powerful, all everywhere, and ALL KNOWING. He knows all things. Just as David said in Psalm 139:4 "Before a word is on my tongue, you know it completely, O Lord." So He knows everything that you've done and are going to do. He knows your deepest secret, and He knows things about you that you don't even know. So why wouldn't God, the creator of all, know what you need? I'm not saying that it's bad to ask God for this and that, and that He's never going to give you what you want, I mean He will, I'm just simply saying that sometimes God will not give you what you want because they're better things than that, like what you need. As one of my good friends told me, just imagine a line in front of you, floating in mid-air. Now you can look at this line in any way, at the bottom, the top, the side, at an angle, however you want to. So, now that you have this image, just think of the line as a timeline, and you are God. Do you get it now? God is out of the timeline that we are in. He can see the future, the present, and the past. So He knows what is going to happen if He gives you what you want, and I'll tell you, sometimes what you want isn't always the best thing. Sometimes it can ruin you. So if you're mad one day, about why you didn't get this, and that person did, or whatever, and you start getting mad at God, just stop and think.

Why wouldn't He give it to you? Well, for a couple of reasons, like i just said, it could ruin you. Another is that it could be one of the pleasures of this world, and that isn't really that good. Also think, what would you benefit from it? Five minutes of fame? You could be giving God fame in that five minutes. And, what i think is very important, what God actually just told me, is that if God kept on giving you what you wanted, that would ruin the relationship you two have, and that's not what God wants. That's whats so important to God you know. Your relationship with Him. It's kind of like a spoiled kid whose parents always gave him what he wanted. Eventually, that's all the kid would think of his parents. As people who give him what he wanted. He wouldnt have any need to talk to them, spent quality time with them, instead he'd be busy doing who knows what with what ever he just recently got. So, before you go getting mad, or start crying, just stop and think. Ask God why He didn't give you this or that.

So to finish this blog off, im going to share a little testimony i heard a while ago. I dont really remember well, so bare with me. One time, this girl was planning to move off to the mainland, but had trouble raising up money. The trip was 600$ (just for example) and she only had 238$ saved up for the trip, so she did a fun raiser. She prayed to God to help her with raising up money and to provide her with what she needed. And you know what, after the fun raiser, she raised exactly how much she needed. EXACTLY 362$.

You see, God will provide for you what you need, most importantly, and sometimes what you want. It doesn't hurt to pray for this and that, but just don't get mad at God for not getting what you want. Remember, He knows more than you could ever possibly know.

O father, my God. I thank you so much for the knowledge you have given me, and I love you so much for everything that you have provided for me. I also thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of the great and awesome things you have done in so many peoples lives. I pray that you continue to provide for everyone out there what they need most in life, and to continue to pour your beautiful blessings upon all of our lives. Heavenly Father, please send your gathering angels out to bring people to this site, and to many other sites similar to this one. Please also send your gathering angels to bring more people to your churches around the world. God, this is all for your glory, to spread your word and love. All to you my King, none to me. I love you and continue to use me, and many others, our savior. Amen
