Sin has shut the door against us; by prayer we knock. Matthew 7:7-8
And He said to them
God did not create you
Where sin runs deep
Let us hold unswervingly
You’ve nibbled at the world
If you don’t feel strong desires for the manifestation of the glory of God, it is not because you have drunk deeply and are satisfied. It is because you have nibbled so long at the table of the world. Your soul is stuffed with small things, and there is no room for the great. -John Piper
