All
Suddenly thought of this... which is stronger - to be all that I need or to be all that I want?
Assuming that I'm normal and can consider myself to be part of the crowd, we always have this impression that being all that someone needs is of a higher level than just being all that someone wants, right? Because that is a necessity, that person's life hinges on it. It's equivalent to saying "I'll die without you so I cannot let you leave me and I cannot let you go."
As I thought over it today, I came to a conclusion that we can't really say which is of a "higher level" or which is better or stronger or whatever.
You see, when I say, be all that I want... it shows that this is my desire. Even though I may not need you, I want you. Alright, illustration time. When we buy what we need, like daily necessities and everything, you get them because well... you need it? But there are certain things like a $800 guitar, $800 DSLR which you absolutely do not need and you can still live without them, but you would go all the way out to raise the money, to save up and to get them. It's like saying, "By hook or by crook, I must get you. I'll go all the way out just for you."
I hope that's clear.
Dear God, I pray that You will be all that I ever need, so much so that the whole of my being would crumble if I leave you. Let my life hinge on you, be the reason why I'm living each day. When all else fails, You remain, and I'm certain of that. I just want to thank You for being You. At times when I'm down and out, when I felt lonely, when I felt taken granted for, when I felt disappointed, when I was crushed, when I was burned out, when I was depressed, when there was no one else with me, You were there. And I know in my heart that no matter what happens, I can talk to You about it and You won't judge me, but always filling me with Your love. And I pray that You will be all that I want from this point onwards. I'm tired of running after things and trying to hold on to people who still walk on anyway. Only You will remain and only You can satisfy. Let me fall deeper in love with You, each and every single day. I want more of You in my life. In Jesus' name, Amen.
This year feels different. Different in a good way =) I'm feeling rather hopeful, not because I know things are going to be smooth-sailing and awesome all the way. In fact, it's probably not going to be after praying whatever I did. But I'm feeling hopeful, feeling great, because I know that God will walk through this year with me. I'll stick closer to Him than before, we will go through everything together. It's going to be exciting! Be with me, through my ups and downs.
One thing that I can be certain of - even when I'm faithless, He will still be faithful. This is my God.
