Our ultimate call individually and corporately is the same.
To be brought into a place of bearing the image and likeness of Jesus Christ.
Do you think for one second that the path to that place will not be a path of suffering? Do you for one second think that iron sharpening iron within the body will not involve offense and fear and trembling? Do you think for one second that the humility, the sacrificial giving, the righteousness unto the death, the joy of serving others, will come to you without suffering, without a death to the flesh through a Word that is sharper than a two-edged sword. This word dividing between soul and spirit will reveal false motivations, and drive you to confess your faults one to another.
Arise by falling on your face.
Be grateful and receive every cup that the Father hands to you.
Stop coddling your SELF.
