I really liked what he said in paragraph 3 because everyone has wants and desires when really we don't need those things. Also when he talks about waiting is proven to be satisfied, i think that is true, we all need to be clam and wait for what our path takes us in life. Constantly wanting something and not waiting for it, can get you frustrated and upset when you don't need to waste your energy on being negative. The wants and desires are just objects...
"God continually showers the fullness of his grace on every being in the universe." This quote is true, God is loving us everyday, He is always here for each and every one of us. A lot of people don't appreciate what God has to offer. Believing in Him that He really is by our sides. You realize that God is with you and being loved by Him is all you need.
In the 7th paragraph, Weil says "We find fullness of joy in the thought that God exists," I think this is true because we are happy and feel saved by Him. We know that he is watching over us, He is the creator of everything. The last part of this paragraph talks about how we would have not exist if it weren't for God. I believe that for sure!

I like the points you made about the reading.
You are right, constantly wanting something and not waiting can cause frustration and negativity. There are better things to spend invest our time and energy into. You're right, wants and desires are just objects. What a great way to look at it.
I also agree with you about realizing God is with us and loves us is all we need. There is a confidence there that can't be taken away like objects can be.
