And it's not even that those things are necessarily bad, but that our heart begins to hope in them instead of Christ.

God is taking me through a long process of centering my life on him instead of on myself, for his praise. He is revealing how so many motives, even in ministry, have been so that I can live the most happy life possible. I am still the center of my own world. "Happiness" has been my god.
