If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in His love. John 15:10 NASB
God has a very strict and narrow path for us to follow. There is no gray area in His commandments, no way to wiggle out of something. His commandments are not open for interpretation. His law is the LAW.
But God knows us and Loves us. He does not leave us alone to try and walk His path. He is there every step of the way helping us, if we just let him.
A lot of time our wants and desires get in the way of Following Jesus! We feel that we still need this one thing or person in our lives. If we just let go and let God work in our lives He will replace that need or desire with something far better that we can imagine.
At least that is what I think.
Good call about "wants and desires getting in the way," especially around Christmas time. ;)
