Desire is Everything! It is by intense desire that you will seek to break free. Desire motivates us in different ways, and requires that of our free will.
In spiritual growth, God works with our desire.
It is essentially known as free will.
God did not force salvation on us.
Nor will he force spiritual growth on us.
He will, however, help us to grow to the level which you desire.
He will give you cues, guide you, along the way.
He will give us the tools we need to achieve that growth.
His Word – the Bible, and the message therein – shall be our guiding light.
The same way you believed on your own to follow Him
after hearing the good news of the Gospel message …
In that same way,
you should deliberately and intentionally grow spiritually.
On your own accord. Your own FREE WILL.
No one grows spiritually without putting in effort.
