Living with Whine and Cheese: "Born With A Broken Wanter"

First, thank you Pastor Colin of Faith Fellowship St. Petersburg and Dennis Taylor for the above quote and title of today's post:

"Born With A Broken Wanter"

As humans we want. As Americans we want a lot. As Americans we also get much of what we want but are never satisfied. If your household is like mine, there is a daily battle of the "wants". The kids (okay, parents too) are too susceptible to the media and peers to determine what our wants are. Unfortunately, these are all wants of a broken wanter. How and when can our wanter be repaired?

At the end of our earthly lives, what do we want the most? I often hear of the elderly saying the only thing they want is to be surrounded by their loved ones. Is it because they have been their whole lives and loved it? Or is it because they missed those opportunities throughout life and want to make up for it before it is too late? Either way, there seems to be a trend toward the wanter getting repaired as you prepare to enter Heaven. But why does it take so long? Wouldn't life be more fulfilling if we lived it without a broken wanter?

Psalm 37:4 Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. (NIV 1984)

The sooner you put your trust in God and delight in Him, the sooner you will no longer have a broken wanter. Let's be accountable to one another to trust in God and live with a well working wanter.
