However, I think it is a bit self-deceiving to think that we can approach His word with no agenda. "To let God do what He needs to do in us through the Holy Spirit" is an agenda. God will work through His Scriptures to grow us even if we do not always come before Him in the best frame of mind, or heart, or with the purest of motives.

What's the most remarkable thing for me, is that we'll do so many spiritual things in search of transformation or a formative experience, but we fail to realize the power of Scripture when read in conversation with God. As Eugene Peterson puts it, we should 'Read to Live'. Take care, DriesC Hi Paul

The opportunity to be transformed by the Word is so much more than we imagine. A great book for you to check out would be Shaped by the Word by M.Robert Mulholland.
