You feel spiritually dead. Perhaps for a long time you have been asking God for new spiritual life — but to no avail. Be assured that God, being love, likes to give — especially this new spiritual life. He is only waiting for you to take the path leading to this new life: the path of sacrifice. In sacrificing, we find life.
To the extent that we make sacrifices will we be alive. So begin to give God something. Give Him of your time and money. Give Him things and people you cling to. Then you will come alive and be filled with the joy that God wants to give you.
