“Please don’t think functionally with God. Don’t just ask
Him to do stuff. Ask Him what He wants to be for you, and
then ask Him, “What do I get to be in return for You? What
do I get to become as a result of Your presence in my
life?” If every circumstance promotes an upgrade in
relationship with God, what is your focus going to be? If
you know that a situation is about your upgrade, what is
your focus going to be?”
