Ahhhhhhhhhhh, yes, that fascinating issue.

As a shrink and a human being . . . how does one

'force,' facilitate, encourage, trigger, cause even one's self

to

--Love God more
--Trust God more?

Seems to me--particularly at some point and some level--even those to extremely high priorities are a work of Grace. Holy Spirit has to effectively change us within for such to occur. Yet, it's a cooperative adventure, a dance. We don't get much down that road sitting like a lump with our arm's folded daring God to MAKE us Love/Trust Him more.

At least, I never have. Even yearning, reaching desperately toward Him doesn't always seem to effect much very discernably in that direction very quickly.
