"An undaunted and nonnegotiable loyalty to Jesus--regardless of the cost--is the key to a deepening, intimate fellowship with Him. Regardless of what He requires, those who want to draw close to Him meet Him at that sweat-stained rock in the Garden and brokenly repeat His words after Him: "Not my will, but Yours be done."

It is a resolve that covers the whole waterfront of our existence. Nothing is exempt. Relationships, real estate, financial resources, spouses, children, grandchildren, desires, dreams, plans, attitudes, and actions are all included.

It calls for the bold and determined cessation of that fulfilling affair.

It demands no flirting around the edges of sensuality and the immediate resolve to eliminate opportunities for voyeuristic pleasure with pornography.

It requires the expulsion of jealousy, residual anger, and the bitterness that tear at our relationships. Gethsemane asks for it all. Stay at the rock until there is nothing held back. Then rise, take up your cross, and follow Him. Remember, no cross is heavier than His was. When we are committed to rejoicing in the Lord rather than ourselves and value Jesus and His perfect will more than our own rights, privileges, and possessions, the cross of surrender will be an honor, not a burden.

SoAmazing Review: Joseph M. Stowell knows that salvation is not by our works, but he acknowledges there is effort required to follow Him with our whole hearts. In Simply Jesus he charts the path to experience all of Him.

"Mutual respect is critical. The exciting chemistry that sometimes develops between a man and a woman depends on the perception that each is fortunate to have attracted the other. The moment one begins to build a cage around the other and to proclaim, 'I own you,' the game is over." Dr. James Dobson p. 110, Life on the Edge, A Young Adult's Guide to a Meaningful Future.".
