Our desire is not to suffer, but to glorify God !whatever! the cost. Does God anoint suffering to bring Him glory? (1 Peter 2:19-25)
Our desire should be service. God frees us to be slaves. Do you believe in a beneficial slavery? God does. He came to serve. (Matt. 20:26-28, 2 Tim. 2:19-21, 1 Pet. 2:16-17, Heb. 9:13-14)
How and why do you give gifts? (Romans 3:23-24, 9:13-18) Can we choose to accept or reject God's gift? Why do we care to even know if we can reject it? Shouldn't we be so enamored by God's gift that we not even consider the possibility of rejection?
Who is Jesus really? Do we know what people did to Him and what they came to Him for? Would we have done the same? There is an undeniable juxtaposition between people approaching for need and those approaching for gain.(Matthew)
