"Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart."
Psa 119:2
Too often, those who claim to be Christians are so on their own terms. We practice grocery store religion. We figuratively cruise down the aisles of God's word and choose the things we like and leave the things we do not. We pick up the happy things and the promises and reject the things that cause us to examine our own righteousness (or lack thereof).
Beloved our relationship with God is not one that can be maintained halfheartedly. We are either all in or all out. This is not to say that if we are all in we cannot make mistakes or have lapses of judgment or faith. Even David who was after God's own heart made a number of critical errors as it related to his relationship with the Father. The issue is what truly is in your heart. Is your walk in the light? Is your manner of life one that is consistent with the will of God? These are things for you to determine and things that He already knows. We could all use a healthy dose of self examination and a spiritual fill up where we are lacking. Let us avail ourselves of everything in God's grocery store.
In Revival,

It is so hard to partake of the bitter with the sweet. I have had some hard pills to swallow and the eventually became easy for me to take them until it wasn’t bitter anymore. Unfortunately, in this walk the bitter things that others add to your cart often become costly. It appears that you have to pay and eat the stuff that you didn’t want to buy or that once was easy but is not becoming difficult to swallow. If you know what I mean! Then you start to question God—WHY? What am I not getting, learn or seeing that I continue to go through this.
