A great many people say, “Why doesn’t God break through today and why doesn’t God do this…?” Well, I don’t know why God doesn’t do a lot of things. He just hasn’t told me, but He’s God and I happen to be a little creature down here and I lack a great deal of information. And I’m not able to answer. But I do know this: God’s not going to force you. God’s not going to push you. He moved heaven and hell to get to the door of your heart, and He stopped there and politely knocked on the door and said, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock.” That’s where He is. He’s never crashed the door. He’s not going to push Himself in. You’ll have to respond to love.

Allow grace to revolutionize your own life through these seven lessons from Dr. J. Vernon McGee.
