When we are tempted and seek to know and love God, and like Moses long to see His glory, and out of that occupation of our minds have no further love for that previous temptation, we have experienced something of the reality of the very highest form of freedom from sin. It is one thing to love sin and to force ourselves to quit it; it is another thing to hate sin because love for God is so gripping that the sin no longer appeals. The latter is repentance; the former is reform. It is repentance that God requires. Repentance is “a change of mind.” To love and yet quit it is not the same as hating it and quitting it. Your supposed victory over a sin may be simple displacement. You may love one sin so much (such as your pride) that you will curtail another more embarrassing sin which you also love. This may look spiritual, but there is nothing of God in it. Natural men do it every day.
Core and slice apple into 8 wedges, and arrange in a small bowl. Pour
lemon juice over the apple wedges, and sprinkle cinnamon on top.

My mother suggested this snack to me many years ago, because I was a junk
food piggy, and I found good things like apples to be really boring. It's
really yummy, though, especially if you like things a bit tart.
