Here is a passage from Thomas A’Kempis’ Imitation of Christ (chapter 37) that Dennis Braham quoted this morning in his sermon on discipleship. It is so profound that I could no longer add anything to it.
“If you bear the cross willingly, it will bear you and lead you to your desired goal, where pain shall be no more; but it will not be in this life. If you bear the cross unwillingly, you make it a burden, and load yourself more heavily; but you must bear it. If you cast away one cross, you will certainly find another, and perhaps heavier.”
