We are not here to develop a spiritual life of our own, or to enjoy a quiet retreat. We are here to have the full realization of Jesus Christ, for the purpose of building up his body.Am I building up the body of Christ, or am I only concerned about my own personal development?

I want him to say, “I have found Sara Ross, a woman after My own heart; she will do everything I want her to do.” (Based on Acts 13:22) Someday, we will all see Jesus face to face.
