Expose Your Values

We often cheat our spirits and souls when we chase after TEMPORAL things!! We stretch ourselves further than we are able in order to satisfy only temporary desires. Our goals, hopes, and aspirations expose our sincere desires and what we value most. We are doing something wrong when Christ becomes secondary to our mortal goals and aspirations. Do not demote god or allow selfish, worldly desires to trump his goodness. And when you do fall short or are approached by failure to succeed in your desires, don't give up. Bring your desires to the Lord and lean on his strength. Don't allow fear to paralyze your faith.  So I hope you internalize this-DO NOT CHEAT YOUR SPIRIT. Chase after celestial and righteous desires because only then will you experience a heavenly rest.
