We all have needs, very few yet very important needs. If asked for a list, our minds fade back to those things which sustain life at first, food, water, shelter and such. But in our list have we reserved a place for God? Unlike mythology of the gods of Olympus, our God does not survive by our worship, but rather we survive because of his Love. We are all wonderfully made and beautiful creations in the eyes of our creator. No matter our physical appearance to others, we have been created with the same potential for perfection in the wisdom and love of our Father in heaven. Our beauty lies in our ability to further his message and kingdom here on earth. So how is it that our God doesn't make the top of our list of needs? My greatest stumbling block is that of true humility. I pray each day that I be granted the wisdom and strength to see beyond my desire for validation and seek to truly serve others whom God has placed in my life. I am reminded daily that God gives me what I need but not always what I want. Hopefully, as this journey continues, those things that I truly need will replace those things which I desire that I may be a true servant of my fellow travelers and so a better son to my heavenly Father.
