Just me trying to be honest with God.

“It is the stealing of the apple that is bad, not the sweetness. The sweetness is still a beam from the glory.” C. S. Lewis

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 1Cor.13

It is not only morally wrong to find my joy in something which God forbids, it is not in my best interest to do so. It may even be a pleasurable something, but in forbidding it, God is looking out for us. Why then did He make something pleasurable and then forbid it? I can think of several reasons. One simply might be to fine tune our trust- to center our faith in the truth of His word not faith in our feelings, wants, or desires.  Conversations Within” ts 12/29/2014
