NEEDS AND WANTS

Wanting something is different from needing it. When you want something, you have a desire in your heart to have it. There may be several different reasons that you want it, and none of them need be legitimate. When you need something, it creates a legitimate desire to have it such that not having it prevents you from accomplishing a goal. Our brain generates wants, while God and our spirit generate needs. When God gives you a need, he always provides a means by which you can fulfill it. There has never been a need that cannot be fulfilled. If you know that something missing in your life is a need, you also should know that fulfilling that need is infinitely possible. You merely ask God to show you the path that leads to fulfillment, and you listen for his response.

Fulfilling a need may not happen in the time frame in which you want it to happen. However, delays in fulfillment always are a result of fault on the part of the prospective recipient. Either the person does not seek God's direction, or they fail to listen to or implement his response.
