You can't always get what you want.....

A famous song from the past. A familiar phrase by parents around the world, and true in most everyone’s life story.

Just because you want a family, home and career doesn’t mean you’ll get these things. We all must strive to achieve the things we want. That’s just human nature. But, for the first time in my life, I’ve realized I already have everything I need, and it all started several decades ago, when I let Jesus into my life and remain in my heart.

I think back and wonder how different my life would have been had I actually got everything I wanted.

I watch my daughter correct her toddler, and reflect on the circle of life. She was a determined, and at times stubborn, little girl. But, with patience, and my trust in God, she turned out to be a beautiful wife and mom.

My daughter will also tell you she’s thankful she didn’t get everything handed to her. She worked hard in school, and came out successfully as a doctor.

We can’t always get what we want out of life, and it’s probably a good thing. God knows what we need, and when we need it.

Trust God in His timing and perfect provision.

Matthew 21:22 - “If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”
