Try with a will or fall by the wayside. -- Anonymous
Try with a will, with faith as our foundation, I suspect is the key...faith in other than I, me, my, mine...faith in other than my wants.
We are told that to have faith in the wonderworking power of the Lord is all we need or will ever need. Our focus, therefore, must needs be on deepening our faith.
A deepened faith is a faith grown into fact, into the fact that our wants have already been met. They are usually unrecognizable because the way we had in mind would only benefit us. God's way is for the benefit of all.
Deepening our faith is not about self-interpreting the Bible, or any other spiritual tract, but living with a listening ear, waiting on the Lord to enlighten us...however, whenever, wherever, with whomever he chooses for us in order that we may detach from our own self.
Welcome the beggar, kiss the leper, love the enemy...s/he may well be the messenger God has sent to deliver to us our wants...transformed into our needs.
Thank you.
