There is no likeness of the Lord without the Presence of the Lord.
The Lord is eager to bless and have fellowship with His Own. The problem is, room for Him.
We all know there is a price to pay for the sweetness of Christian fellowship and the Presence of the Lord - the giving up of self. Further, it is not possible to go in the right direction without the Word of God.
There must be prayer that agrees with God, and there must be an eagerness to admit He know all and we know nothing.
Soldier, we must bottom-line ourselves all the time.
The more you obey Him, the more you crave Him.
