Father, we love you and praise you that you didn't give us a life. Simply be saved and sit down and wait till heaven's doors open for us. But rather this exciting, ongoing, challenging experience of growing in our relationship with you. And Father, my heart's desire today is that every single person who listens to this message may have stirred within them by the Holy Spirit. This yearning, this desire to want to know you, want to develop an intimate relationship, no longer be satisfied with just status quo, so to speak, or some stagnated kind of relationship, but rather to be growing and deepening in their understanding and in their walk. We love you, precious Jesus. Dear Father, Holy Spirit. Thank you for working in our life daily. We want you to send into our life whatever is necessary to inform us of your likeness. And we'll thank you for it, praise you for it, in Jesus' name. Amen. For an audio cassette copy of Dr. Stanley's message, Testing Our Spiritual Growth, ask for tape number ML272.
