[:en]Thoughts from “Our Daily Bread” (1/8/18)[:]

[:en]It is our tendency to rationalize everything to get what we think we want.  We make different kinds of arguments such as:  “No one will get hurt”, “Everybody is doing it”, It is not illegal”,  “He did it to me first”, “She won’t find out” to get our own way and  justify all our actions.

Sometimes, we also have this kind of faulty thinking about God.  We may argue that since God is love, so He wants me to do whatever will make me happy.

Jesus said that “the truth shall set you free”.  The best kind of happiness comes from the freedom we find when we accept the truth that Jesus is the way to a full and satisfying life.[:]
