At church today...

Had an interesting thought today at church (well, other people had good thoughts which I am hijacking and/or applying to me). Desires are often from God, and it's good to purpose or desire these desires. However, you have to be careful desires don't become idols. It's not far to go from "I desire" to "I need" or "I deserve". If it goes from God-centered to me-centered, that's bad. The thing that popped into my mind is my desire to get married. Now, I don't mind being single right now, but it's definitely a strong desire that I have. So, I need to make sure that desire remains one whose purpose is to glorify God. But isn't that what everything is about anyway?
