Years of living in an indifferent hostile world creates a deep sense of unsettledness with in us
Battle of good and evil within us - Romans 7:20-23
Sinful desires are contrary to the Spirit
They conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want - Galatians 5:17
There is a nagging awareness warning us not to feel our hunger too deeply or it will undo us
We wouldn't want to do anything crazy or desperate
We want what our unmet desire wants but our sinful nature wants what is contrary
We try everything - TV, sex, relationships, drugs, etc - going one to another
We don't know what we want because we're so unacquaninted with our desire
We try to keep a safe distance between our daily lives and our heart's desire - because it causes us too much trouble
Do we really want to open Pandora's box?
Dare we awaken our hears to their true desires?
Is it better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all?
Our dilemma is this: we can't seem to live with desire, and we can't live without it
Key Phrase: Our dilemma is this: we can not seem to live with desire, and we can't live without it
