We should maintain our spiritual hunger through our personal relationship with God. Personal devotional time, otherwise known as QT, is a very necessary part of the life of every True Believer. If anyone claims to be a True Believer and yet neglects this part it causes me to doubt the authenticity of their claim to be a True Believer. Our lifeline to God is through our personal relationship with Him.
