"Dear God, I'm just not that into You." Could you imagine hearing such words rising up into your thoughts? Would you dare speak them from your own mouth? And yet our daily activities are a megaphone many times louder than those ‘secret’ dialogs blabbing in our souls.

Our behavior is the megaphone under which all other messages are drowned. It overwhelms every conceivable attempt at formulating the image we wish others to perceive.

Truly, it is so hard to manufacture deep affection for someone we don’t know very well and to whom we give very little attention.

"I know I ought to love You more, Lord, but sometimes I’m not sure I really even want to.

When honesty leaves me bare, I call for the breath of Your Spirit to create in me a hunger. A craving to know You as You are - that You show me what You want me to see about who You are.

I’m tired of what religion has told me I should see.
I want to see You first hand.
I want to see Your face and know the deepest of your heart.

Unless You show me and dazzle me and inflame me I shall not have courage enough to pursue You.

I shall gaze.
I shall behold.
I shall wait . . .

. . . until You open into my spirit the rapturous revelation of Your goodness and the wonder of Your alluring joy. Reveal Yourself as You truly are that I might be undone, overwhelmed by Your sparkling eyes, and empuddled by Your deepest affections."
