Wants and Desires

"Man finds it hard to get what he wants, because he does not want the best; God finds it hard to give, because He would give the best, and man will not take it." George MacDonald

Are we really wanting what is best for us? Are we really thinking it through all the way to the end and seeing the bug picture? God can! Are we being selfish with our hopes, dreams, and desires or are we wanting something that is reachable, achievable?

God know what is best for us. He can see the entire picture and knows what will truly make us happy. Why not really focus on connecting with God - then everything else should fall into place.
