“Many hear the call, few indeed seek with all.”
Are we indeed seeking the Lord “with all”? Are we giving him our whole heart, giving him our best?

17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
