"Those who are willing to sacrifice all for eternal life will have it; but it will be worth suffering for, worth crucifying self and sacrificing every idol for. The far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory will outweigh every earthly treasure and eclipse every earthly attraction. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock." Will we let Him in? He would not have us stand at this time, amid the perils of the last days, in our own finite strength...It is our privilege to walk in the sunshine of His presence, and weave into the characters we are forming the golden threads of cheerfulness, gratitude, forbearance, and love. We may thus show the power of divine grace, and reflect light from Heaven amid all the frets and irritations that come to us day by day. Then why do we go stumbling along without light?" ~ Our High Calling pg. 351,352
