Pleasure is something we can control; God cannot be controlled.
Most pleasure can be obtained easily; love for God requires effort and sometimes sacrifice.
Pleasure benefits us now; the benefits of loving God are often in the future.
Pleasure has a narcotic effect--it takes our minds off ourselves and our problems; love for God reminds us off our needs and our responsibilities.
Pleasure cooperates with pride--it makes us feel good when we look good in the eyes of others; to love God we must lay aside our pride and our accomplishments.
Have you chosen to love pleasure, or to love God?
How do you know?
