From what I can tell everything it wants me to achieve or strive for is fleeting.
I followed the worlds suggestions for many years. The result ... loneliness, and a constant struggle to achieve what the world said I should have, and just when I thought I was getting there, the world changed what was important!
Finally, I found lifes instruction manual, and it never changes.
The Bible!
The will of God never takes you to where the grace of God won't protect you.
