"...Personal communion with Christ is real. It is the whole point of being a Christian. It is what the Bible is for. It is our endless future.This seems to be a simple truth, one that should be very obvious to me. But as I read these words, I have become profoundly convicted.
...The Puritans, among others, knew a lot about it. They experienced it. They pursued it. Have we graduated to a spiritual level above them, such that we can smile condescendingly? Or is it we who have drifted from the sacred center and need to repent and come back and reengage with our Lord in profound and very, very personal ways?"
Somewhere along the way I have preferred to read books about biblical truth than actually read the Bible in order to commune with my heavenly Father. I have become complacent and lazy. More than that, I have become rebellious, preferring entertainment and everything else to fellowship with Him. I repent. Lord help me desire You.
