"I think when God wants to play a really rotten practical joke on you, he grants you your deepest wish." - Cynthia Heimel

We are easily duped into thinking getting our deepest wishes will satisfy. Celebrities of all walks of life will tell you otherwise. Jesus refuses to play this rotten joke on us. He offers something far better.

1) The place of felt needs
2) The nature of faith
3) The priority of forgiveness
