Luke 9:23

All children of the Father are offered love with which to love the Father and their fellowmen. But they are free to take it to themselves or to reject it. And those who take it share or withhold according to their will and their commitment. Love must be freely given or withheld and it is of the essence of true freedom.

But all who love identify in mind and heart with those with whom they share their love. The wills of those who love in depth become as one as understanding and commitment grow. And where that mutual love is dedicated to a cause beyond itself, according to the Father's will and loving purpose, the consequence extends beyond all human understanding. But it can be known in part by faithful following, and it will be revealed when time shall end.

All who are in Me and I in them will find the way to self-denial as it is offered them in the way. As they are faithful so are they offered more and more to share their cross with Me and it becomes their share in My eternal Sacrifice.
