Morning Reflection

Good Morning,

Today, let's explore the difference between wanting and desiring, and how this distinction shapes our experience of life. In our daily conversations, we often use the words "want" and "desire" interchangeably, yet they carry significantly different energies and implications.

Wanting typically signifies a sense of lack. When we say we want something, we acknowledge its absence in our lives. This feeling of deficiency can lead to frustration, envy, and a perpetual state of unfulfillment. Wanting focuses on what we do not have, creating a mindset of scarcity and limitation.

On the other hand, desire is rooted in the acknowledgment of possibilities and abundance. Desiring something stems from a place of recognition that it is attainable and within our reach. Desires are born from our true essence, reflecting our deepest passions and the divine potentials within us. When we desire, we tap into the creative power of the Creator, aligning ourselves with the infinite possibilities that the universe offers.

Scripture enlightens us on this distinction. Psalm 37:4 (NIV) states, "Take delight in the Lord(Law), and he(IT) will give you the desires of your heart." This verse invites us to delight in our Creative Ability, to align ourselves with Source, and in doing so, our deepest desires are fulfilled. It is not about wanting from a place of lack, but about aligning our desires with divine purpose and abundance.

As we move through our day, let us shift our focus from wanting to desiring. Let's recognize that our desires are reflections of the divine potential within us. By doing so, we move from a state of lack to one of fulfillment and abundance. We start to see life not as a series of unmet wants, but as a journey of fulfilled desires, guided by the divine wisdom and love that resides within us.

Supporting Scripture

Psalm 37:4 (NIV): "Take delight in the Lord (Law), and he (IT) will give you the desires of your heart."

This scripture encourages us to find joy and alignment in the Divine, and through this connection, our true desires will be fulfilled. It reminds us that desires are sacred and aligned with our divine purpose, leading us to a life of abundance and fulfillment.
