Soul In Slavery

I want a doll, a game, a TV I want a couch, new car, excitememt I want someone to love, romance new and passionate. I want peace, contentment, satisfaction I want everlasting love I want to conquer my fears and speak eloquently. I want to travel to the far ends of the world and see all the sights before I leave this world. I want to go to heaven, be obedient to God! My soul wants, wants, WANTS! What will satisfy? I want to be in a cage and be fed and sing I want to be free, and make my own path and never look back. I want to play with my grand children one day, God willing. I want to play volleyball and softball again. I want to run and not be in pain and short of breath I want to eat all the pastries and pies. My soul wants, wants, WANTS! What WILL satisfy?

I understand this feeling, but in life, unfortunately, there are things we just can't have. So true. Best wishes, Sara

God is the only source of the desires of the longing of the soul. Nicely done on a topic that we all face at sometimes in our lives. Mom
