"Not only is it important for us to daily read the Scriptures, but we need to prayerfully reflect on its passages and see how those passages touch our hearts. If we are really lucky and faithful, we will come across passages that really pinch us —they hurt because they make us aware of how we are offending God. The more the word of God pinches us, the more we hunger for relief. This is one of God’s greatest desires for us. Prayer for the grace of repentance is a prayer Jesus jumps at. He longs to give us more of His mercy. He longs to give us more of His wisdom."
