About This Quote
"I have concluded that the more we seek the Lord, with a passion for His worthiness, the more we are gripped with our neediness. Adoration cultivates desperation." The truth is that we cannot be far from God and still feel desperate to please Him. Our desperation points us to the One who can truly satisfy our needs, and that's what brings us joy.
