Seems to me that the Chambers' devotionals and the dialogue which occurs on those threads are very, very helpful in getting and keeping one's priorities straight, i.e. loving God absolutely and as a distant second, loving our neighbor unconditionally (Matt 22).
On the believing Him and trusting Him - as we were discussing on another thread - I assert this is the gift of faith, which goes beyond the grace of faith whereby we believe.
We know we have received the gift of faith when we are able to lay our burdens at the Cross and never pick them up again. As a gift, it is one of those things we have to ask for from the hand of God.
Perhaps I should frequent the threads and dialogues more.
But I have engaged intensely in such many times in my life. And they were of value to do so.
I don't know that anything mentioned has resulted in anything near what I desire regarding loving God more; trusting God more;
It seems to me, it is clearly something His Spirit has to work in me since I've done all I know to consciously and behaviorally do many times over as well as I know how . . . including asking him for such gifts etc. in quadruplicate many thousands of times over.
Mercifully, He does declare that those who hunger and thirst after such shall be filled.
At 60, I'm wondering when that's scheduled.
