Wants and needs are closely connected. And all our needs, even the ones we're not completely aware of yet, will be met. Be grateful that God knows more about what we need than we do.

Then look around and see what your lesson and gift is.

Believing that things happen too slowly or too quickly is an illusion. Timing is perfect.
