Wanting to eat sweets is not an emotional decision. It is a biological disorder direct to your willpower from screaming neurotransmitters that have driven you to overeat and desire foods that feed your addiction all of your life. Today seventy percent of adults and forty percent of kids are overweight, and it seems like there is little we can do about it. We eat three to five times a day whether we are hungry or not.

He wants people whom He calls His friends (John 15:15) to bring to Him their desires. Friends are delighted in sharing life and dreams, in making time, and setting priorities to benefit both.
