“Because narrow is the gate and difficult is
the way which leads to life, there are few who find it.”
Matthew 7:14

A student once wrote to the famous preacher Henry Ward Beecher, asking him how to obtain “an easy job”. Mr. Beecher replied, “If that’s your attitude, you’ll never amount to anything. You cannot be an editor or become a lawyer or think of entering the ministry. None of these professions is easy. You will have to forget the fields of merchandising and shipping, abhor the practice of politics, and forget about the difficult field of medicine. To be a farmer of even a good soldier, you must study and think. My son, you have come into a hard world. I know of only one easy place in it, and that is in the grave.”

Do you want everything easy? Are you upset if “things don’t go your way”?
