Side Effects

Every seemingly good thing has side effects -

A house is desirable, but it will bring you troubles.

A big savings account is nice, but you are losing sleep over it.

A Lexus is fabulous, but who is driving whom?
Sun-light is lovely, but it may cause skin cancer.

A well-paying job brings you many benefits, but you just wish that you can quit right away.

(Don't misunderstand me; I do need proper housing, career, transportation, financing, etc., but they are not my God.)

With this understanding, enjoy the following hymn:

1. Something every heart is loving:

If not Jesus, none can rest;

Lord, my heart to Thee is given;

Take it, for it loves Thee best.

2. Thus I cast the world behind me;

Jesus most beloved shall be;

Beauteous more than all things beauteous,

He alone is joy to me.
