Am I willing to have no friends, no father, no brother, and no self-interest— simply to be ready for death? That is the condition required for sanctification.
A hard saying, but marching to Zion with then Lord requires forsaking all in heart, not counting our life dear to ourselves, but ultimately seeing Jesus only, and ourselves with Him. Now to do it better.
