I do not say he will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven, for countless numbers do good according to their sights. But when the difficult, painful choices are presented to them they turn away and do not bear the responsibility to which they were called. Many call Me 'Lord' and will be surprised when at the final reckoning they are not counted great. Those who are My true disciples have more than one cross to bear, but as life progresses each melts into another and there is only one. And that is the cross of discipleship.

When My disciple embraces this cross he finds that it bears him, and the rest of suffering in this life, though often deep and poignant, is purposeful and fulfilling. Often this disciple finds a well of joy and of comfort at the centre of it. As his eyes are fixed on the Father, his will and intent committed to Our loving design for him, he purposefully progresses to fulfilment in Us and his part in the establishment of Our Kingdom on earth and in Heaven.
