How can I restore my spiritual life again and be fill with the spirit

pamela's comment on 2013-07-29 09:18:09:

The Lord keeps laying this particular scripture on my heart and I can't quite understand why...it is certainly not how "I" feel, I mean I know and understand the importance of serving God,I know that it is NOT vain, I understand that serving Him profits us much, Serving Him allows us peace here on earth that surp***es all understanding and eternal life in the future! Any mourning we do now will turn into tears of joy in the end! So again I'm not sure why this is the scripture that keeps coming to mind during my daily bible study...Lord p,ease reveal.to me what I need to do or to get out of this verse so that I can move on...in Jesus name I pray...Amen.
