8. What Dreams and Desires Get In the Way of More Fully Embracing Jesus and Others‪?‬ Asking is Loving

    • Christianity

As Christians, we should be most content with Jesus. What dreams or desires get in the way of this for you? Additional questions: Are my dreams and desires more appealing to me than Jesus’ embrace?
Am I embracing the dream or Jesus, the dream-giver?
After establishing that answer, I’m moving on to the next level of contentment:
Am I thinking correctly about God, the truths of who I am in Christ, and what I have in Him?
Do these truths impact my perspective of life and my level of contentment?
If I answer no, I go on to the next level:
Why? Am I ignoring God’s working in my heart to look to Him for something?
Am I holding onto sin or false belief?
