Desires

Desires are not evil in themselves. Desires are part of GOD’s creative act. We desire food to desire. We desire liquids. We desire companionship. All are good, good for us, and GOD given, but sin corrupts our desires. A desire for food becomes gluttony, which is bad for our health. A desire for liquids becomes an addiction to alcohol, again bad for health. A desire for companionship becomes lust which can lead to adultery and other sexual sins,, bad for our relationships, our minds and our bodies. Ultimately, our desire should be for JESUS. With HIM as our desire, HE will realign every other desire for our benefit and for the good of all around us. If we do not have JESUS as our desire, eclipsing all others, our desires will always continue to be off center, attempting to satisfy what can only happen with JESUS.
