“The Christian life always involves movement, following the Lord, walking with Him, asking, seeking, knocking, and eventually finding. In those areas where we need to work, in those areas where we procrastinate and need to become active, in those areas where we try to do it on our own and need to rely on the grace of Christ, let’s tell our soul what we truly desire and how our Lord suggests that we acquire it.”
