Chocolate < God

"'What can bring us happiness?' many say --
Let the light of your face shine on us, O Lord.
You have put into my heart a greater joy
Than they have from an abundance of corn and new wine."
-Psalms 4:7&8
This verse is just so appropriate for the Lenten season and the Christian journey in general. Chocolate, food, internet, music or whatever one has given up for Lent could never ever replace the Joy and peace of heart that will be won from conquering these earthly wants in the name of Love. The sacrifice you have chosen has been placed on your heart for a reason. Don't give up. It's worth the fight.
