Me: I kept my head to the grindstone on this one.

Prodigal: It shows.

This is from the book Something More: In Search of Deeper Faith by Catherine Marshall

I was learning about the part the will plays in our relationship with God. First, there is that period of initial struggle of the will when we know full well that a decision has to be made. God won’t force it on us; it must be entirely our choice.

God will not force it, but it longs to hear you say yes in obedience. This will grow you, but growth means a season of something new. It will good, but it all starts with a yes on your part.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. John 13:20 (KJV)
