“Don’t love the world’s ways. Don’t love the world’s goods. Love of the world squeezes out love for the Father. Practically everything that goes on in the world–wanting your own way, wanting everything for yourself, wanting to appear important–has nothing to do with the Father. It just isolates you from him. The world and all its wanting, wanting, wanting, is on the way out–but whoever does what God wants is set for eternity.” 1 John 2:15-17 (The Message)
Does wanting ever isolate you from God’s best for you?
This is what I will be meditating on throughout this week.
I love this passage. Thank you for sharing it today! This topic is something I’ve been mulling over for a little while. I do think what we want (if it’s not what God wants) can really separate us from God.
