And he said to all, “If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake, he will save it. For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself?
---- mine,
You want to save your life? Love Me with your whole heart, mind, soul, and strength. Do not grumble when your cross gets heavy. There is no way to eternal life except through he narrow way of suffering. It is the furnace wherein the soul is purified and made fit for heaven. Do not ask how much longer, O Lord? Do not ask for rest? There is no rest on earth, only labor for the salvation of your soul and the souls of those you love and the world. Do not grow disheartened, discouraged, afraid, anxious, or fearful. I have shown you the Way; walk in it with confidence. I AM yoked to you. I carry your cross with you. Be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.
