But God.....?

I wonder why some of us won't obey God even though we know we ought to...because we want what we want---and feel like if that's what we want, it must be God's will, because why would we want it?

When will we understand that sometimes God's best doesn't resemble what we see in our head?...His best sometimes leads us into places we didn't think we wanted to be.

Sometimes God's best is right around the corner...we just refuse to go there---because THIS IS WHERE WE WANT TO BE.

So we stick to what we believe to have been God's voice...even when it doesn't line up with His Word... with fingernails screeching, thinking that God will eventually let us have our way (we think that HIS way would NEVER be something we don't want.)

and all along...the gifts that He freely has given us go to waste...because we want what we want.... and call it "In the name of Jesus".
