‘I need, I want, I wish, I will’


These words indicate that one thinks it is all about "me." Well, in some respects it is! Here are some directions gleaned from the New Testament to help you fulfill your needs, wants, wishes, and will.


I NEED . . . to be thoughtful and kind to others.

And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another,

just as God in Christ forgave you.

Ephesians 4:32


I WANT . . . God to be glorified by my actions.

"Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.”

Matthew 5:16


I WISH . . . to follow Jesus.

Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.

Matthew 16:24

  

I WILL . . . do my best to please the Lord.

And do not neglect doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.

Hebrews 13:16


Yes, it is all about you . . . you doing what it right in the eyes of the Lord.
