“Of all the worldly passions, lust is the most intense. All other worldly passions seem to follow in its train.” Buddha

“The desire of the righteous ends only in good...”Prov.11
If we do not rule our passions, our passions will certainly rule us. But not every passion is evil. We may lust for things which are good. We may earnestly desire and pursue those things which bring us the superior delights of joy. We are even encouraged to do so. There are fleshly lusts which hinder and hurt, but there are also the inner passions of the soul which move us to run after God. Give your heart wholly to God then do what you want, for the heart that belongs to God always wants what is good and right and true. Conversations Within ts 10/10/2012 (Durham, NC)
