Attention Needed

There are those who NEED loving, satisfying, careful, purposeful attention from those whom God has placed in their life to give it. For example children and the neglected in the world. Then there are those who SEEK superficial, unsatisfying, never-ending attention from anyone who will give it.

These are two types of people and two types of attention.

One of them solves problems; the other creates and propagates them.

One is needs based. The other is performance based.

The one who SEEKS attention may also NEED attention, but the attention they seek is far different from the attention they need.

Pray for wisdom and discernment in knowing the difference.

Jesus gave attention in ways that was not always received by those who sought His attention. What we want is rarely what we need.

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. ~James 1:5
