Goals and desires are not the same thing.
In fact, a ‘goal’ is something a person can accomplish, on their own, such as matters of personal discipline. For example, I can make it my goal to get up at a certain time of day. Under ordinary circumstances, that is not a responsibility I need to place in someone else’s hands. I am able to accomplish this on my own.
However, ‘desires’ are what people can long for—even intensely long for—but cannot pull off on their own. I can, for example, intensely desire for a sunshine and blue sky for my outdoor party. But I can’t make it a goal to have one. I need God’s help for that.
But learn what happens, in this ten-minute video, when goals and desires get criss-crossed!

![Gospel of John: The Life is in the Blood
#GospelofJohn #BreadofLife #John6 #Manna
Jesus had identified himself as the source and giver of life, and the One Who satisfies the longings of people’s hearts. Jesus had claimed the Father drew people to him, and Jesus received all those whom the Father had given him. Many people had begun to argue with Jesus and take issue with him. These were not the sort of claims they were expecting from the Messiah. But Jesus was not backing down or changing course.
In this half hour talk, originally given on Sunday morning at New Hope Chapel, Arnold, MD, Jesus delivered what was very likely his most offensive sermon ever preached. It would cost him the majority of his disciples, and act as a turning point in his public ministry.
I Bread of Life, John 6:41-51
Unbelief is basically a spiritual issue, not an intellectual issue.
II Broken Bread: Flesh and Blood John, 6:52-59
Jesus the Logos, His person, works, and words, are Spirit and are Life.
III Belief or Abandonment, John 6:60-71
You and I grow spiritually when we believe and live by truth.
(The Greek translation of John is my own)
