For Believer's Only: Satisfying That Deepest Want

The notion that removing want from your speech can eliminate want from your life is reasonable in thought but impractical when you consider the nature of language and the demand of communication.

 How can I even dream about not using the word WANT when I already use it so much without realizing it?

Our world is full of desperation and lack. The word want or wantonness is one that represents this lack.  Even if we do not have everything we would like, are we truly in the desperate state of lack? You will be if you declare it to be.

Upon discovering the true meaning of WANT, we become keenly aware of it in our speech, and of  the appropriate manner in which to use it.

For example:  As we watch our kids killing themselves and others in the same schools that all of our kids have to go back to, and we turn our focus to guns forgetting all of the dead kids and the surviving one's as well, it makes me WANT us all to remember our kids and stop arguing over guns.

I Shall Not Want

Cars and trucks and motorcycles and boats and houses and ice cream with cake are things we all would like to have.  As we confront the trials of life, we discover that love is all we need. Removing wantonness from your heart doesn't make the word disappear but elevates it to a higher level of importance when you do use it.

Only then can you truly satisfy that deepest WANT, whatever that is for you.
