It seems to me that he is saying that we desire what we think will make us happy, but that it will always fall short if we set our hearts on anything short of God himself as our desire. Only in God do we find an eternal and eternally increasing happiness. That at least is how I understand him.Doug P.

Honestly, what passes as "devotional" material these days when such writings as these are available to us...<BR/><BR/>While I agree with him, I do wonder if one might accuse him of having a tautological premise, defining desire as happiness then proving a connection..<BR/><BR/>Just a quick thought as Devil's Advocate. Probably should think it through better...Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13167383337795761102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579132932451243418.post-72471873216378425132008-11-19T05:26:00.000-08:002008-11-19T05:26:00.000-08:00Hi……… Very cool your blog!
