I want it all!

Watching my youngest grandson today taught me a lot about our fallen Adamic nature. Don't get me wrong he is innocent and adorable. A very pleasant child. However he wanted his cake and to eat it too, as the saying goes. He wanted to drink his bottle, hold his ball, have me cuddle him, watch everything that was going on and cover his face with his blanket so he could go to sleep. If he dropped his ball he became frustrated. If I moved he became frustrated. Having it all was not possible even if Nonna was trying her best.

God desires to meet our needs and the desires of our hearts, but sometimes we must let go of what is in our hands in order to receive what is in His. Just like a good Nonna (Italian for grandmother) wants the best for her grandchildren, God wants even more than we can imagine.

Think about this today and realize God is not trying to keep something from you. He is trying to get everything you need and desire to you.

​God is a God of hope. Never quit believing God wants what is best for you.
