These words are not for the Christian who wants a great life.
They are for the one who has decided to serve a great Master. The one who will take up The Cross and follow Him.
You can't have both.

The bottom line means agreeing with God no matter what. There aren't many no-matter-what Christians. Will you be one?
Tell Him so. today.
Alone and aloud.
