What does God want?
In presuming the answer falsely, man lost everything, so how to we answer this right?
Moderation in all things, including moderation, means simply that we should order the reception of goods according to just about any other criteria than our desires, we may tend in a direction in light of our desires, but we are led astray if we do not consider objective reality in our efforts. Let us also mention God calls us to love Him and there is nothing that matters any more than that relationship, then we shall love others, and then we shall be concerned with our will/desires. It should also be noted that our relationship with God and others is heavily influenced by our interior virtues and vices, thus while loving the two external entities (God and neighbor), we will have to take care of our real needs healing, sleep, food, prayer, community, etc. A proper understanding of moderation (practical acceptable variance) and our call to love rightly have one thing in common and it is what God wants which of course corresponds to what is our good (John 4:32-34, 6:38, 5:30; Luke 22:42). When we ask what the will of God is, it seems we ask at least one of two things "how do I be the best I can be?", and/or "what does God want me to do in this situation?". Whatever we do clearly must do those things with love (subjectively) and be detached, virtuous, and conformed to truth. The truth is we are to be obedient to the Father’s will. We can read that in light of an angry parent or a tyrannical leader or supervisor that keeps you ignorant and what you desire has no relevance. This is wrong. God wants us to be free, but we like to imagine our freedom being equal to His or even greater than His. This too is wrong and even dangerous (CCC 397). Jesus is free to do as we all are, but what does He want? To love and to be loved (order is implied in this love), which is simply the Father's will. This Will accomplishes for us everything we need and even some which we cannot know that we need(ed). We must be moderate only to follow the call to love because there are times this love will demand things of us (mission) that seem impossible if we remain attached to the fleeting shadows which are finite goods.
