~ Is it a Want or a Need ~
There's a saying "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.”
But that's a Silly saying because it's Not Greener.
Most of the time it's Full of Mud. It just 'Looks' Greener from where you are.
Some people always 'Think' they 'Want' Something Else.
Why do some people think this way ?
Why are some people never satisfied with what they've got ?
Well you need to understand what it is that's making you 'Want' the thing in the first place.
~ Could it be 'jealousy' that someone else has got something and they seem happier than you do, so you think you 'Need' to get what they've got.
~ Could it be 'Tricks & Deception' of TV adverts, or something on Social Media that is making you 'think' it will bring you happiness or pleasure.
~ Or maybe someone has said you can't have something and you have formed a Childish and Stubborn Attitude of “Why can't I have it, I Want it”.
Is it that you genuinely want the 'thing' or is it the fact that you can't have it that makes you want it so much.
~ Or could it be you are simply following 'worldly ways'.
Some people make up Excuses and say they 'Need' the 'thing', when actually they just 'Want' it.
Many people get their 'Wants' and 'Needs' mixed up.
It's the Deception of the devil.
God created us all to have very Basic 'Needs'.
We 'Need' ~ Food, Water and Air to Breath. Everything else is a Luxury.
Most of the food & drinks we consume are actually Luxuries and not 'Needs'.
God is Very Loving, He will Bless you with All of your Needs, whatever they are.
And He will very often Bless you with More than your Needs.
The Bible says God provides 'All Your Needs'.
He also Blesses you with many Luxuries. But most people don't recognise these 'things' as Luxuries and get them confused with 'Needs'.
If you struggle with 'Wants', could it be that you don't fully Appreciate God's Blessings in your life, so you think you 'Want' something else.
The problem with this kind of thinking is that even if you get what is on the 'Other side of the fence', you then spot another Fence (another Want), and you then 'Want' that instead of what you've just climbed the Fence to get.
It's a never ending cycle of Climbing Fences to Get what you 'Want'.
It's the devils way to keep you Trapped, and keep you Away from God.
This often leads to you missing out on the True Blessings of what you already have in your life.
But when you Appreciate what you have got, (no matter what it is) you will become much Happier than always wanting something else.
If you take an Honest and Mature look at your life, you will realise just how many Wonderful things you can be Grateful for.
Another reason why some people always Want something else is because they haven't accepted Gods Love for them. They try to substitute God for 'things'. But you can't substitute God ~ He's One of a kind ~
God Loves You and He will Provide You with 'All Your Needs'.
He Will also give you many Blessings.
All you Need to do is Accept them and Appreciate them.
Then even if you don't get what you 'Want', you'll be
Happy Anyway, because you've got something Much Better,
The Love of God.
