I think that sometimes in life we find ourselves longing for something not in God's will. I find myself in this situation many times - even if it is a decision that is not sinful. Maybe sometimes we want something that will take us away from God or distract us from Him. This could be as simple as being determined to get the best score on a video games or spending too much time watching TV. Whatever it may be in your life, I find myself spending too much time and effort in worldly things. It reminds me of a quote from
C.T Studd,
This life will soon be past. Only what you do for Christ will last...
Again, many things I am referencing to
are not sins. That is a different subject. I am speaking about monitoring our day-to-day activities. If there is something you enjoy doing, it's totally fine to enjoy that, just make sure that it doesn't' take away from our relationship with God. Here's a good thought to live by:
Everything you do should make your relationship with God stronger (even if it is just a little bit).
Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. - Matthew 6:33
I encourage you to start praying about God's will and that you have the encouragement in your life to accept His plans. I'm definitely not saying that we shouldn't enjoy that gifts we've been given, we just have to make sure that we always thank the Giver, and that He is the One who is the
most important.
