Desiring what God desires

 Hello everyone, I'm a senior in highschool from Kansas, and this book has totally turned my life around. Well, not around, but back on the right track. I've been a born again Christian for about 2 years right now, and this book is an excellent resource for knowing how to get the very best for yourself. I mean, it's got the best advice for actually finding not only what you need but what you want. There's all the stuff we think we want, like sex, status, and stuff, but then when you end up feeling bad at the end of it all, you wonder what's missing, and that missing "stuff" consists of everything that God wants for you.

It's really changed my thinking. Cause it really used to seem like God just wants to give you all the rules that he does so that he can make you into something that makes him happy and you miserable, bored, and not having any fun or pleasure, and then you, in turn, feel guilty for repeated sin patterns when just following the rules isn't enough for you. But let me tell you, when you realize that God only has intentions for your personal best, your personal happiness, and your personal joy, then it becomes very easy to say no to things like sex, overworking, and overeating. I never thought that it would be EASY to say no to things that the Bible says destroy you and your relationships, because, like Chip says: like fast food, just because it tastes good doesn't mean it is good, so don't be deceived. And I'm done being deceived.
