I was walking into my bathroom to wash something out in the sink and someone’s face flashed into my spirit and the Holy Spirit said to me, “Many of my children are mad at me because they have not gotten what they wanted from me when the wanted it.” I came and sat down at my desk to ponder what the Lord just said to me.

I sat here thinking, if I got what I wanted when I wanted it, I would have missed out on what I needed, even when I didn’t know I needed it. We think we need money, a microphone, a ministry position, a certain job, whatever it may be we think we need, so when we don’t get it we pull away from God.

What if what you think you want or need is not what you actually need? I thought I needed one thing, but in the waiting for what I believe I am called to be, I have found what I longed for and did not even know it.

We were made for intimacy with God. We were made for community with people. We have the ability to hear the voice of God; to speak to and hear from the Living God; this is beyond what we can even comprehend. We have the living God inside of us. Selah.

When we think ministry, microphones, money, men, women, positions, titles, whatever it may be is more valuable than intimacy with God, we pursue those things and miss the most valuable person, position and wealth offered to us. Jesus Christ is what we long for. Intimacy is what we were made for. I have learned He holds back what I think I want in order to give me what He knows I need. I need Him, His presence, His voice and so do you. Nothing satisfies like Him.

I know some people are mad at God because they haven’t gotten whatever it is they think they want, but when we wake up, we will see He is what we long for and He is truly our hearts desire, for He alone is eternally satisfying. #Mondaymusings
