Life is hard. Following Christ will never be easy, but it will always be worth it. Jesus calls us to count the cost of a life turned over to Him. Difficult things in the life of a believer will draw a deeper dependence for God out of them. Fully entrusting your life to Jesus and walking in the truth of scripture will point others to Him. 

Embracing the hard things in life and continuing to build God's kingdom for His glory alone is a result of joy and redemption only the Holy Spirit can give.

Luke 14:25-35
