" Jesus today has many who love his heavenly kingdom but few who carry his cross; many who yearn for comfort, few who long for distress. Plenty of people he finds to share in his banquet, few to share his fast. Everyone desires to take part in his rejoicing, but few are willing to suffer anything for his sake. There are many that follow Jesus as far as the breaking of his bread, few as far as drinking to cup of suffering; many that revere his miracles, few that follow him in the indignity if his cross" - Thomas a 'Kempis', The Imitation of Christ
thought it was so true, and that i belong to the vast majority who seek the good stuff but try to escape dealing with the bad. (While i was uploading this the connection actually failed on me, spiritual warfare at work) I pray that this will touch your heart. Perhaps consider what 100% looks like. Consider why is it that we have knowledge but not the heart to acknowledge, the heart to believe.

Although the fig tree shall not blossom
neither shall fruit be in the vines;
the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat;
the flock shall be cut off from the fold,
and there shall be no herd in the stalls:
Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.
Habakkuk 3:17-18
This lullaby is only a few words
A simple run of chords
Quiet here in this spare room
But you can hear it, hear it
Wherever you may go
I will let you down
But this lullaby plays on
