"We say, 'Something's wrong with me. I'm not happy. There must be something more,' but we do nothing about our discontent. It's this mood of resignation that keeps us from joy. Our first task is to get honest with ourselves. Do we want God or not? If we do, we must be willing to make the effort to respond to Him. 'Come near to God,' said James, 'and He will come near to you'. It's a matter of desire. 'O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek You,' the psalmist said." - David Roper
