Discipline says, 'I need to.' Duty says, 'I ought to.' Devotion says, 'I want to.'
You can't just tip your hat to Jesus; you must bow your knee.
You are not saved by the plan of salvation. You are saved by the man of salvation.
When you have His joy in your heart, it doesn't necessarily mean your pain or hurt will be taken away. It means you'll be able to bear it.
