You can't go and get yourself super-dedicated to live a Christ-conscious life. The only way you can be saturated with the thoughts of Christ is to saturate yourself with the Book that is all about Him. And this is God's will, than you not only be saved but that you also be filled with the Spirit.

Above all it is that you know Christ and then that your neighbors hear about Christ. That is His will. So often we sit around twiddling our thumbs, dreaming about God's will in some distant future when we are not even willing to stand up on our own two feet, walk down the street, and do God's will right now.

I desire your prayers, dear Sir, that God would make up our great loss to us in himself.

~Jonathan Edwards, on the death of his eighteen-year-old daughter, in a letter to Rev. John Erskine]]>
