The simple thing to do is to receive the Lord into you. If you want to love the Lord, there is no need for you to beg, to fast, or to pray for three days. A voice within will tell you that you have not turned to God enough, that you have not been godly enough, and that you have not obeyed Him enough. If you measure these things according to the letter of the Bible, these things may not constitute very serious mistakes, but your conscience will condemn you.

To pour water into a glass is simple because the glass has no will, emotion, or inclination of its own. This may sound very simple, but actually it is not simple. God desires to have such a vessel that can contain Him and express Him here and now. God desires to gain man so that He can put Himself into man.
