He looked at that and focused on that to endure the cross. Do we have that ambition? Do we do the hard things to have that relationship? What is your secret ambition? What do you secretly want to rebel against in order to obtain? What do you secretly want to go after with all that you have? What do you want to do? Are you ready to give your life away?
