We must offer our best; then we must look to God to add His holy fire. Our best is never enough. We constantly need God's extra touch. We need His fire.

In the service of God we need more than ability and skill. We need the manifest presence of God, the consciousness and evidence of God's special touch upon us. We rely, not on our knowledge, training, and experience, but on God's transforming addition to our highest and best.

We are not satisfied with being faithful; we deeply desire the special awareness of God's blessing upon our faithfulness. We are not satisfied to work hard; we look to God for His empowering upon our earnest efforts. We seek for something more than busyness; we seek the evidence that God uses us.

God created you to be filled with, and anointed by His Spirit. That fullness makes your personality complete, enables you to be christlike and radient with God's presence, and your service to be Spirit-guided, Spirit-empowered, and used to capacity by God.
