“Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.”
James 4:2 KJV
You allow your heart to become so consumed with longing for something until you are ready to kill for it. Then you are still not satisfied. What you want keeps evading you; you quarrel and strive, and you just can’t get it. If you are desperately unfulfilled, why don’t you simply ask God to give you what you need? This is such a contrast to the wisdom from above which is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. The only thing you could possibly lack is wisdom (one might sometimes feel challenged beyond the point of sanity); however, make your request in such a way that you draw directly from the Source (not filtered through other opinions). God is the Origin and Author of wisdom. He intertwines your thoughts with good judgment. His gifts are available to all, without regret. Let’s always take the help of our Helper for any choice we have to make. Amen!
