The insidious nature of selfish desire, obstructs the path God has put before us. Greed transforms into a monstrous force when the desire to take overshadows the noble act of giving.

Whoever walks in wisdom will survive.“ Let wisdom remind us to navigate the delicate balance between selfishness and selflessness on this journey.
Lust, a poison that threatens our connection with God. It leads us to giving into our human desires, taking us away from exalting Him into idolizing ourselves.

A calm heart promotes love which nurtures both spiritual and physical parts of life.

Always remember that God, in His divine plan, has equally marvelous blessings in store for you. Trust in the timing of His promises, and let the soothing balm of peace replace the damaging effects of envy.

Although it is not directly mentioned in the Bible, there are instances where it can be perceived positively or negatively. How can we attain mastery over this type of love, and what was God's original intention for it, irrespective of societal beliefs?
