Just me trying to be honest with God.

“We are ever striving after what is forbidden, and coveting what is denied us.” Ovid

The fact that people want what is forbidden speaks to the self-centered condition of our hearts.  The wings of love can help us soar above the gravity of such selfishness, but it seems we will never escape its pull on us in this life. It is not a sin to seek what is best for yourself, but being selfish isn't the way to go about it. ~ “Create in me a pure heart O God.” Psalm 51 Conversations Within” ts 11/24/2015
