Why does God want us to be broken and humble? Because it is at that point we will be receptive to the calling touch of His Holy Spirit. At any other time we could ignore it or say “I’ll do that later.” The problem with that thinking is we might not have a “later”.
Life has a way of proving that we need God whether we want to believe in Him or not. I stuck my neck out for many years before I finally gave my heart to Jesus and actually asked Him to come in and make me a new creation. I found out I was going to be a Daddy and I knew that my life needed to change and that’s when I found out about the change that would happen if I gave my life to Jesus. From that point on I started reading my Bible and learning more about Him. Why? Because He showed me that I couldn’t be a Daddy until I learned how from Him.
