When you consider what Christ has done for you, the best response is to give yourself joyfully to seeing Him. Following Christ does not mean you avoid adversity. In fact, it might send you straight into times of hardship and difficulty. But as believers, we have a steady source of joy and we are free to give our lives in faithful, humble service to those around us.
