Think about your testing and waiting—it is short lived and you do not remember it, but you keep the product of the suffering forever. Some will wait for a day or a week for hunger, but what they have not embraced is the DAILY cross. The “come and go” Christian is the most miserable, for they are neither fully in nor out. That is why their relationship with God and Christ suffers. But if you will follow Christ, you will find the relationship with God. Christ embraced DAILY suffering for God and yet experienced DAILY JOY and a powerful relationship with God. Choose Christ as your Lord today and follow Him! But don’t make this choice for just one or two weeks. The average person can prepare themselves to suffer for the first one or two or even three weeks of classes, but you must make a conscious choice to embrace suffering as a way of life. Do this, and it will make all the difference!
