Following Christ is not a project or a phase, it’s a life-long discipline, that’s why they call us DISCIPLES. We are continually seeking God to follow His will and His teachings. At least, that’s what we’re supposed to be doing…
We need to get back to basic Christianity 101 - love God above all else (including everything else!) and love your neighbor as much as you love yourself. Any gratification you seek should go though that filter. Think about it.
