Is my relationship with God the end of my pleasure? - Fr. Daoud Lamei

That's a good question. Definitely no, because there are like two types of pleasures. God created men to enjoy life for forever and this kind of enjoyment is related so much to the relationship with God to love of God to enjoy being a child of God. So there were, and always there kind of pleasures related to God, but when men went away from the will of God, they broke the commandment, they were separated from the will of God. Now there are many types of pleasures , which may please men Physically or emotionally, but this pleasures usually void of real pleasure, void of real joy, because you all know that people may love may say that it's fun, but after few minutes or hour, they feel so much empty, so much desperate for the real peace and joy . So when we speak about pleasures, God did not create us to torture us. God created us to enjoy life forever, and this life should be in God related to God, according to the will and plan of God, because outside God, away from God, we are lost. Even if we are trying to enjoy many things in this life. And Fulfill our desires to get these pleasures. All people know that after some time they feel like the pleasures are not pleasurable enough. And that's the way of addiction. Many young people went into addiction because they followed the. Pleasures and to enjoy life in this way, they traveled a long journey from a problem to a bigger problem, and they lost their life because these pleasures were never satisfying. So again, the relationship with God is not the end of the pleasures, but it's that discovery of new pleasures. It's that discovery of real life, real joy, real peace, real heaven. So let's stop the pleasures of this lustful world , and try to get the pleasure related to God. May God bless you all. Amen.
