I have been reading all kinds of quips from all kinds of blogs today and one in particular amused me in a sense but then also made me seriously contemplate was being said by all concerned, author and comments included.
Wants and needs.
If someone is seriously spiritfilled, supposedly they have no needs what so ever because the Big Guy has everything under control and will supply those needs so then you of course have no wants.
You want your needs to be taken care of so are they not wants and if your needs are taken care of, you have no wants.
Whewwwwwwwwww,
Am I confused now or what.
I have needs that I guess I confuse with wants.
like this ;~)
I need to have a better relationship with my family because I want my family to go where I am going when the Lord comes for us.
or I can put it this way
I want to have a better relationship with my family because I need my family to go where I am going when the Lord comes for us.
hmmmmmm
I'm sorry, but I do need water everyday, you hear me, everyday.
to drink, to bathe, to wash my dirty clothes.
even if I was in a desperate situation, I know my needs will be taken care of.
so I guess that is why I really don't need anything, except some self discipline to stop spending money on things that I don't need..
Any one who has read my old blog knows, that consistantly, I have been blessed with the things I have needed.
It's been eventually with this addition to the blog world, another note of conviction for me about wants and needs.
I am blessed with the things I need, all I have to do is want and appreciate what I do have.
I am so blessed and I am looking forward to the want and need of family ties to become a reality as a blessing soon.
Have a blessed day

Wants and needs...
The Big Guy takes very good care of me--there's no doubt about that one.
There's also no doubt in my mind that how He takes care of some of those needs/wants isn't exactly how I thought He oughta have taken care of them.
Am I left wanting?
Nah.
Just pouty cuz it wasn't exactly what I had in mind.
I wanted peace on earth and He's given it to me....IN ME.
Not exactly what I had in mind, but pretty darn cool nonetheless.
Hello,
....in the end it is about behavior. So many people use the word 'need' to hide from responsibility; in fact, politics has become a circus act where they change wants into needs so they don't have to be responsible for what they do to get what they want, and businessmen know no responsibility at all... everything is a need for them.
It is true that water is important for our survival (as is god's love), but when water is all around us we have more responsibility for our behavior than if we were in a desert and haven't had a drink for two days.
It is important for me to know the difference. C:) I have experienced both parts of me; the want-me and the need-me. I like the want-me much better, but the need-me is handy in a pinch.
Have a nice day.
Ty, Mel..I get kinda pouty once in awhile as you have read, but I am thankful for the end result. really I am.
Ty, C:)
I am in total agreement with the end result being about behavior.
I am always looking to improve my behavior because I think it is so very necessary in our walk.
I am still learning in my walk and am always open to receive the eyes and ears of people walking in God's love.
I have a need and a want in that. ;~)
That's one of the many reason's I love ((((Mel))) so much.
The wisdom she has been blessed with and is willing to share.
Again, thank you (( C:) )) for your wisdom also.
I'll take all I can get.
