Every day we get up to startup our lives we must select the direction we want to take.  Are we going to follow God?  Or are we going to follow ourselves.

We love ourselves if we do not follow God.  If we love you Lord, we will follow You.

The love of self causes sin to envelope our world.  The envelopment of ourselves in sin makes us separate ourselves from God.  The more we separate ourselves from God, the more we are in misery with ourselves and with each other.

Following God is the only way that we will not separate ourselves from God. When we follow God we are not in sin, nor do we separated ourselves from Him, which causes us to be in misery.
