Obsession

I just finished reading a book called Obsession, by Ted Dekker. ( If you have the time to read it, I would highly recommend it.) God had created us to be passionate, to obsess, and to love, but what happens when you are doing all that for the wrong reason? In the book you will see a character who obsesses over something that later on in the end leaves him defeated, and useless.

How does this fit into what God says?

Matthew 6:19-20

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal."

 Basicly, dont chace after your obsessions like money and wealth, or all the newest fashion, but chase after God and store up the treasures that will not destroy, like love for your spouce or family, love for god.
