FOOD FOR THOUGHT
"But the only freedom that lasts is persueing what we want when we want what we ought.
John Piper from his book: "WHEN I DON'T DESIRE GOD"
“I was astonished that although I NOW LOVED YOU…….I did not persist in enjoyment of my God. Your beauty drew me to you, but soon I was dragged away from you by my own weight and in dismay I plunged again into the things of this world…as though I had sensed the fragrance of the fare but was not yet able to eat it.”

Augustine of Hippo in one of his prayers.
NOW THERE IS FOOD FOR THOUGHT!
Shalom, Y'all
