"You got to have the Want To” As a basketball player, a big reason why I improved was because I WANTED TO. I had a DESIRE to get better. I did not practice out of duty or obligation it was a PASSION that I had and I practiced with EXTREME EMOTION. I saw a lot of other players stay the same and never improve as a basketball player, because they did not have that want to factor. I am learning the same is true in my relationship with Jesus. DESIRE is the primary fuel for spiritual growth. If I want to grow as a Christian, I got to have the WANT TO! We talk a lot about duty and doctrine but what about desire? Am I driven to know Jesus more intimately? Do I want to be like Him? Or am I going through the motions out of obligation? I want to be like the guy in the Psalms; “As the deer pants for the water, so my soul for you, o God. My soul thirsts for God, the living God” (Psalm 42:1-2) Read the Psalms and pray that God will give you a hunger and thirst for Him!
