Joy in a desert place

Ya know how when you ask God for something, he tends to give you it in a weird way. Well last night i got myself in a situation where I really only gave God a "half eaten apple" and out of that he showed me my sin in the situation. Now instead of picking shame, or torment, i chose joy. God is cleaning out my heart, and dang it is humbling but not decaying. To live for God, you must sacrifice the desires of your own human heart -- that's what i believe. Then he will burn away the bad desires and bring life to the good ones.

"Obey my voice and i will be your God and you shall be my people. and walk in all the ways that i command you, that it may be well with you" -Jer 7:23
