This I believe: There is only one need...to know God aright...all else are wants.
The fact is, though, that we do live in the material world, and we will have wants that must be met...and what is that but a need? We will have needs that we have no apparent means of meeting in the moment. What then?
"Then" is when we begin to understand how and why undeserved suffering is the Way of the Cross. All of our thinking, analyzing, cursing and crying are seen as no longer useful...they were once, never doubt it, for they brought us to our hopeless state. They opened the door to that heart space where our want is seen from a new angle, and our mind is changed. Changed in the realization that our Father knows our needs, and that insurmountable unmeetable is met not by might nor by money but by God working through us.
"Then" is the dross in the crucible giving up our gold.
Thank you.
