The Youth Proverbs (Vol.18): "Want vs Need

There is a picture in the heart of every man,
Of who he wants to be,
Of what he wants to become,
Of what he wants!
There is how every man feels it should be,
No man wants nothing,
Every man with desires in his heart,
Every man with his willpower.

In truth, every one has a need,
Every man in need of something,
Howbeit, what he wants is not his needs,
The want clashes.

Want and need clash,
One crushes another,
One prevails,
The two is not the best but one.

Better is the need even if it tastes bitter,
It tastes sweet at the end,
Than the sweet wants that ends bitterly,
Make your needs your wants.

There is a thought in His heart,
That you need in whole,
So high as the heavens to the earth,
Yet man must find it to find his way.

Do not miss your way on your way to finding your way,
O'Youth! The way is at the center of His thought,
His will is full of your needs,
But your willpower must bend to His will first.

If it must be His purpose for you,
You can not follow your way,
If you must get there,
You must follow the route in His thought.

Starting, it can not be smooth,
But the smoothest if you will not grumble,
It will appear the longest route,
But the shortest ever.

When your will clashes with God's will for you,
Let His will crush down your will,
When your will is crushed,
Your needs show forth.

In a Nutshell;
The way of God is the only route to your destiny fulfillment in life.
        Myself as an instance, I loved doing things just the way I loved it done. I used to surround myself with loads of principles that hindered me to flow with God's mindset. It is recently I discovered it will never work that way. It can not be that easy to bend to His will, but that is the only option if you want to fulfill your purpose of existence in life.
        God who created us have us at the center His thought. He has plans and purpose for each of us which is left to us to discover. "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." (Jeremiah 29:11). He has pocessed a future for you already, only for you to follow His ways. Your own thoughts and ways can never be His.  "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, says the Lord.For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts" (Isaiah 55:8-9). He knows what He holds for you in and your future. You can not know all, you can only know what He reveals to you. 
          Yes, the truth remains that all you can know is only what He reveals to you. You can not know the mind of God unless you are intimated with Him in love and reverence. "The secret [of the sweet, satisfying companionship] of the Lord have they who fear (revere and worship) Him, and He will show them His covenant and reveal to them its [deep, inner] meaning." (Psalms 25:14). To know the will of God for your life, you must be just like a bosom friend to Him. A bosom friend always wants to please his friend and the only way to please God is to follow His way.
