đŻď¸âď¸âď¸ "I WANT TO WANT" â When Your Heart Chooses the Lesser Light
Saint Augustine didnât deny the good.
He knew it.
He respected it.
He just prayed:
âGive me chastity⌠but not yet.â
Thatâs not ancient history.
Thatâs Tuesday.
We donât usually choose evil because itâs evil.
We choose real goodsâcomfort, pleasure, distractionâ
just not in their proper place.
The smaller light.
The nearer thing.
The easier yes.
And over time,
we stop noticing what weâre missing.
The deeper problem?
Sometimes we donât even want the greater good.
So the most honest prayer isnât:
âLord, Iâve got this.â
Itâs:
âLord⌠I want to want what You want.â
Thatâs not weakness.
Thatâs the beginning of conversion.
Even Saint Andrew Woutersâ
a man who knew his own failuresâ
stood firm when it mattered most:
âA fornicator I always wasâŚ
a heretic I will never be.â
Not perfect.
But faithful.
đś "I WANT TO WANT" â a track for anyone who knows the good⌠but keeps reaching for something less.
