If we were able to rid ourselves of our desire for earthly things, we would then be able to fully attach ourselves to Christ with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength. If we kill and do away with our earthy desires, we will have the absolute freedom to experience indefinite peace and joy on earth and have the capacity to concentrate a great amount of our thoughts on our innermost being. We might actually begin to truly renew our minds.
If only we weren't so preoccupied with gratifying our own desires and too concerned with a world full of passing things, then we would have more than just a piece of Godliness this side of heaven; perhaps multiple pieces, or even the whole puzzle!
What do you desire most? Will it pass away after you obtain it? Will you want something more after you have it? Will it satisfy?
Strive to have a proper desire for God; be content, and seek nothing else.
