"You open Your hand And satisfy the desire of every living thing. The LORD is righteous in all His ways And kind in all His deeds. The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth. He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He will also hear their cry and will save them." -psalm 145:16-19

i am such a leech for pleasure. i want to lay that out. i honestly can not enjoy my day if i do not taste and see that the Lord is good. i will be a wreck and seek pleasures not found in God or i will be a liar and suppress the passionate desire to seek God.

we as believers dont always talk about our desires and pleasures. i think its pretty serious and it is nothing to be ashamed of. we all have desires and we all burn with passion to be filled and know pleasure. God gave us these longings they are created to be aimed at Him.

This is a very good word, Ciara. I too seek to find pleasure. And if I'm not diligent to direct it toward my Lord I stray into finding it in other things. It's very important to notice this tendency in oneself.

we christians bought the lie that
pleasure = sin.

thank God for His gifts;
i pray that we love and take pleasure in
the Giver much more.

[made_alive]

yes!

i pray that we love and take our deepest longings for pleasure in the Giver.
i want no desire to be wasted on physical emptiness.

sorry about your g-ma. *hugs*

that was really cool...
"i become increasingly empty when i seek satisfaction with worldly attempts" ugh, so true!
and this too...
"God is so good to repeatedly let me taste the world and bring me to repentance. I am so fallen to believe even for a moment that sin is sweeter."

that verse is amazing. (145)
