The importance of having the right desires is illustrated in the Christmas film, “It’s a Wonderful Life.” This film contains a powerful theme of REDEMPTION. Hollywood could not come up with a film like this today!
If you remember the story, George’s life is falling apart because he DESIRES fame and fortune. An ENCOUNTER from GOD (in the form of a quirky angel named “Clarence”) reveals that his DESIRES need to change. He finds TRUE JOY when his DESIRES CHANGE! When he recognizes that the most important thing in life is his integrity and the generosity he shows to others, he finds true joy!
