God has made a profound investment in His called-out ones, offering them an infinitely wider spectrum of pleasures compared to those not yet called. This includes the promise of quality eternal life, a permanent relationship with the Father as His adoptive offspring, and an intrinsic desire to live righteously for eternity by embracing His holy and spiritual law. Almighty God, as the sole author of legitimate desires and cravings, is the only one who can satisfy every longing without negative consequences or sorrows. If carnal humans yield to God's purpose for their lives, they would receive permanent satisfaction, as symbolized by the refreshing water Jesus described, which quenches thirst forever when connected to the source—God's Holy Spirit. God will not grant the desires of a deceitful heart infected with vanity, jealousy, lust, and greed, but to a chosen few who undergo a metaphorical heart transplant, receiving a pliable heart upon which He writes His holy laws. This enables His called-out ones to align their desires with His magnificent purpose, experiencing genuine godly pleasures forevermore. Additionally, God expects a return on His investment, encouraging His people to earnestly seek an increasing repertoire of spiritual gifts while cautioning against their abuse for self-aggrandizement. These gifts are not privileges but responsibilities, designed to serve and help others interdependently within the body of Christ.

God has given all of us minds to think and to plan, but He does not always grant us control over the outcome of our plans. Though our hearts may plan our way, the Lord carefully directs our steps, sometimes moving us sideways, backwards, or over a circuitous detour. Often, He steers us away from unseen obstacles, even when we mistakenly think He is thwarting us. Without His guidance, man's plans inevitably lead to failure and ruin, especially when natural talents and gifts are used for purposes other than what Almighty God intended. Before the foundation of the world, He knew our proclivities to sin and make mistakes, yet He called us, understanding the extensive repair and refurbishing needed in our lives. Almighty God has called us into His Family to develop compassion for others and to receive it in return, shaping us through trials and experiences. The talents and abilities we are blessed with at birth are the raw materials He fashions, amplifies, and redirects from self-centered impulses to other-centered, love-motivated actions. Only when these gifts are used to serve mankind and glorify His creation, bringing happiness to others, do they truly hold value. Over time, it becomes clear that when we keep His laws, good things happen, and when we do not, bad things follow, affirming that His direction ultimately leads to joy and fulfillment.
