Inner Journey

Progress in holiness can best be measured not by the length of time we spend in prayer, not by the number of times we go to church, not by the amount of money we contribute to God's work; but in the depth of our personal relationship. 
                                      
Hear my prayer, O Lord; let my cry come to you.  Psalm 102: 1  In my morning quiet time this morning I was reminded that our relationship with the Lord needs to be our top priority.  Forget getting by with luke warm, remember what the Lord says, " depart from me, I do not know you."  We must have a burning desire,(passion) for the things of God.  Few seem to experience that kind of devotion.  I too am in the process.  Don't ever give up!!!  We have a loving God that will lead us, even into the deeper layers of prayer.

"Is prayer your steering wheel or your spare tire."  Corrie Ten Boom
