Gift vs. Giver

"When you love the answer from God more than you love God, the answer will actually take you away from God." --Darrin Patrick

Think about it. When we desire something God can give us over and above God himself, getting what we want can actually be the worst thing for us. This is idolatry; cherishing the gift above the giver, the creature over the Creator. We think that getting what we want is good, but in reality, it separates from God.


"Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, 
to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 
because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie
and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator"
Romans 1:24-25
