“Some of you may be thinking, “Shannon, deep down inside I desire many things more than I desire God…”, but that’s only because you’ve set your sights too low. Many of those things promise immediate satisfaction, but even the best of them are temporary pleasures – only God fulfills us permanently. We fall for these temporary pleasures because our desire for joy is too weak!”

Wow. We often magnify our situation or something we have much more than we magnify God. We make these things way bigger than they really are. We magnify them as with a microscope – making them appear bigger than they actually are, whereas we should be living life to magnify God as with a telescope – to bring His immensity into perspective and to begin to see Him for what He really is.

Great article.
