It’s good to have ambition, but we must not live in the doldrums until these dreams are accomplished. Our joy needs to come from our salvation. Our sense of satisfaction must depend on our relationship with God.
When God takes away what is good
We all want God to fix our problems and take away our suffering. But sometimes what God takes out of our lives is a person, material possession, or activity that we loved very much. But thanks to our shepherd, we will lack nothing.
“But he's a good person…”
That is an argument many spiritual leaders hear from singles looking for a partner. “He’s not a Christian, but he’s super sweet!” What is wrong with falling in love with a “good” atheist person?
“In the good old days…”
Faced with our current challenges, we sometimes look to the past with envy. Everything seemed easy and more pleasant in our previous chapter. Sometimes we even try to return to this past, which is never a good idea!
