What Else Do We Want?

In 1 Corinthians 4

* 1 COR 4:7-8
I may not have interpreted this the correct way but it makes me think of this . . .
-What do I want that I don't already have? AND if I have what I want, than why am I acting like I didn't receive it? This causes us to be boastful because we are being satisfied by something else other than God. (aka- still missing something and aren't truly happy) How can we act like all is well without God?

For example, this is something I want to make sure I don't do, as hard as it can be sometimes:

WANT= Happines
BF= Happy/Satisfied
GOD= ??

Where does that leave God? There's no space for him. I wouldn't need Him, to satisfy anything. (Like Andrew has said- when we are happy do we usually need God?)

While it's ok to be happy now that I have a boyfriend (Andrew) I can't distract myself with the fact that I should be satisfied by God, FIRST! He should be what fills me up, then all the rest falls into place. Having a boyfriend should be the "icing on the cake" if you will. And having a Godly "guy" haha like Andrew in my life is truly a blessing,and to be able to share this relationship we have with GOD with eachother makes everything work well, and the way it's supposed to.

It should be:

WANT= Happiness
GOD= Happy/Satisfied
BF= Shares in happiness/God relationship

I just want those of you in relationships to really take this seriously. As I think I have spoken about previously, you have to have a relationship with Him before one with anyone else, or it just won't be successful. Girls especially, be in everything for all the right reasons, and make decisions accordingly --> I'll be listening to my own advice as well as I go through life and make decisions.

P.S. Andrew is out in Yellowstone! He'll be back soon :(
