A New Set of Cravings: Life from the Writings of John

For years I struggled with cravings that were contrary tothe new nature I was supposed to have as a Christian. Iknew that Jesus came that we might have life, so why didntI have it. Why did the old sometimes still appeal? Why didI let it cool the passion I had for God? Why instead, had thenew not forced out the old? Had I missed something alongthe way? I came to point where I had to know.Im glad I came to that point. Jesus words are true; If anyoneis thirsty let him come to me and drink. I knew what it waslike to come to Him; my problem was that I allowed myselfto get distracted from coming. When we come to Him, He gives birth to a new nature in us. To the extent that we feedit, it will grow. If we neglect feeding it, it will wither.He really did come that we might have life; He came to give us a new nature. And with that new nature comes a wholeNew Set of Cravings.
