Yes,...Joel, thanks for your comments and question.<br /><br />Yes, what we are born desiring is, on the surface of it, different, even unique, for every person. It can only be talked about, I think, if at all, between two very good friends who know and love each other. Even one's father confessor could be misled, or even deceived, by listening to one trying to describe it. A spiritual father, or mother, who is a 'lover of mankind' would be able to supply by love what one might not be able to express in words, and thus be able to counsel, to help somewhat, but no one can be delivered from this, but by Christ Himself, and in a way just as unique as the desire itself.<br /><br />Another angle on this topic can be found in my post <i>What we were born wanting</i>, http://cost-of-discipleship.blogspot.com/2012/11/what-we-were-born-wanting.htmlΡωμανός ~ Romanóshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00212143017939554092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24378081.post-61477872750607652902013-06-02T12:20:24.668-07:002013-06-02T12:20:24.668-07:00Hi Romanos,
I've been enjoying your blog for ...Hi Romanos,<br /><br />I've been enjoying your blog for a while now through Orthodox Collective.<br /><br />I have a question about this post: is this thing that we are all born desiring something different for everyone, or one thing that's common to everyone? Could you please elaborate?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Joel<br /><br /><br />Joelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10179540030524847156noreply@blogger.com
