It seems like I get the "I Wants" when we have the least amount of funds!!!! With me a simple little thought or sighting can get the snowball rolling down the hill becoming bigger and faster and more furious once it starts!!!
I know my husband would give me the moon if he could, but his love language is definitely NOT in gift getting or giving!
When I would tell him that I wanted something he would tell me okay, write it down and I will get it when we have the cash........... Do you know of all the things I would want, and hand it in to him, I never received ONE THING!!!!
The funny thing is, is that once I wrote it down, and released it, I could let my "I Wants" totally go!!!
Bill didn't get me what I thought I was so desperate to have ...but he always would be creative and go beyond what I would consider!!!! One year he wrapped up a license plate that said "No van for me" and he told me he found me a cute little BMW convertible...WOW!!!! This was after driving our extended van for years!
I guess the lesson I am slowly learning is that God really does want and expect us to "take EVERY thought into captivity " to make it obedient and pull down strongholds that can so easily develop. 2 cor. 10:5
Also when we/I live (abide) in the knowledge that I am loved and God knows my needs, and yes my wants..... I can rest in the truth that My God WILL supply all my needs...Phil 4:19 and that "He is able to do exceedingly, abundantly beyond ALL that I can ask or imagine according to the power at work within me" Ephesians 3:20!!!!!
