SESSION THREE:<br />
PLEASURE<br />
What brings you the most pleasure in life?<br />
Maybe it’s a relationship—a friendship,<br />
a girlfriend or boyfriend, a spouse or a<br />
child. Maybe it’s your work—or the money<br />
you make. Maybe it’s a hobby—perhaps<br />
you’re a die-hard mountain climber or a<br />
sports fanatic or photographer. Maybe<br />
it’s your volunteer work with a cause you<br />
care about. Maybe it’s a substance—alcohol,<br />
drugs, sugar. Maybe it’s adrenaline.<br />
Maybe it’s sex. Maybe it’s media, and you<br />
spend hours a day online or watching TV<br />
or Netflix.<br />
God designed the world with seemingly<br />
countless opportunities for pleasure,<br />
which tells us he wants us to enjoy life. He<br />
created friendship and romantic love and<br />
parenting and work and sports and food<br />
and sex. None of these things are bad—<br />
in fact, he called them “very good”! But<br />
none of them were designed to be the<br />
pleasure in life. None of them are meant to<br />
be the focus of our happiness. Even more,<br />
all of them can be our undoing if they’re<br />
allowed to run rampant in our lives.<br />
This week we’re going to discover more<br />
of our heart’s design for happiness and<br />
pleasure. We all want increased satisfaction<br />
in our lives—let’s gain increased<br />
insight in how to have it.
