My selfishness drives me to go my way. Deep down, I don’t like taking instruction from others. I know that following my wants gets me in trouble. I don’t like dealing with problems that come from seeking excess food or other selfish desires. I am better off when I follow God’s direction.
1 John 2:5 is “But those who obey God’s word truly show how completely they love him. That is how we know we are living in him”. (Holy Bible, New Living Translation, 2015)
As my love for The Lord has grown, I want to do all He asks me to. I am happier when I submit everything to Him. Today, I hunger for God more than I want control or food. I desire peace that only comes from surrender to God.
