You ask ‘for what’ God wants you. Isn’t the primary answer that He wants you. We’re not told that the lost sheep was sought out for anything except itself [Matthew 18:12-14; Luke 15:3-7]. Of course, He may have a special job for you: and the certain job is that of becoming more and more His.

It is quite simple. God wants us, just as any father wants their child. And God wants us to become our very best, just as any loving father would. And, like a good father, God allows us to find our way by telling us the way, helping us when we stumble, suffering with us when we fall and nurturing us as we stand and heal. Lastly, like our earthly father always should, God forgives us when we repent and shows mercy for our transgressions once repented. As above, so below.
Thank you Father,
Z gardener
Author’s Note: After three weeks in the Horn Island wilderness, this scribe returns to The Good Morning Garden tested, tired and true. Thanks to all who helped and those who prayed for this gardener. Attached is a photo of this special place.
