Human Nature
How well do we share?
.
Have you ever watched children play? Usually, the toy they want is the one being played with by another child.
When they do share it's most likely because they were prompted to.
In fact, they just might have a full bag of sliced apples and still want the one slice you have.
Do we as adults share very well?
We want the best. We want the most, and we want it now.
Human nature.
The reality just might be we think we're doing better than we really are.

If we don't keep a vigilant eye on our thoughts and desires and affections - we might be dominated by something other than God's will.
Jeremiah 17:9 says, "The heart is desperately wicked."
Anger, irritability and verbal outbursts are all signs of a heart issue. So many times, I have seen this in myself. the conflict I may have could quite possibly be traced back to my own desires.
James 4:1-3 makes this very clear, "What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you?
You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask.
You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions."

Let us remember life is better when we stay focused on God.
Until next time, Pam.
