What I Want The Most

God has a funny way of making me realize what I want most in the world.
Because this isn’t the first time I’ve prayed for this, I was told no. I’ve learned that God’s no is as powerful as when He says yes.
I forget that.
I tell myself I want this, yet I am living all of my actions the exact opposite. Chasing temporary happiness as if that would make it all better. After a while, the satisfaction wears off. I’m done with temporary. I know what I have to do. What I’m chasing now, I want forever.
And I’m not here for a piece; I want the whole thing.
They call people who want their cake and eat it too selfish, but they never mention how it’s cake and what else are you supposed to do with cake.
There’s no hidden agenda. No pettiness. No lies.
So yea, I want my cake and eat it too.
