What Are Your Longings in Life?

Different people have different needs, and we have our own ways to satisfy ourselves from our longings. Look around you, what do people always lack of? what do you want to hear from people that you do not hear? what do you want to see that you cannot see? You will never be satisfied unless someone or something satisfies you right? Most of the time, you feel so much longing within you BUT you do not really know what you need. Let me share this real amazing story to you and i know you can relate yourself so much to it.

From the book of Genesis :( 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
and so He said "let there be light." and THERE WAS LIGHT!) And the next days, God created the day, night, the sky, the stars and the moon, the sun, the plants and trees, the sea, the land, the animals on them.
 (26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”) So, he made a man and his name was Adam, and in Genesis 2:18 God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” Now, why do you think God felt that it is not good for man to be alone?  God knows Adam 's longings.God also knew that the animals He had created were not suitable for Adam. He knows what Adam needs before he[Adam] knew it. So, while Adam was at rest, God made a woman out of his rib, and this woman[Eve] is to satisfy his emotional, social, and physical needs.

What i'm trying to point out is this, God knows what you don't have in life that you want to have. But sometimes, you cannot get what you want, so you end up saying "God if you are real, why don't you give me my needs? Why is it happening to me?"Most of our life we blame Him because of what we do not have. All you have to do is this: seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. (Mat.6:33), Now, what do you want? what do you need? what are you longing for? It will all be yours if you seek first God's kingdom and  His righteousness. 

You need love?peace? hope? strength? joy? money?home?children?father?mother? clothes? food? water? Ohhhh... ISN'T IT EASY FOR GOD TO GIVE ALL WHAT YOU NEED? look how He created everything. HE KNOWS YOUR NEEDS FAR BETTER THAN YOU DO!

GOD IS THE BEST FATHER EVER!!!
