both-seeker-and-sought:

“A spiritually vigorous saint never believes that his circumstances simply happen at random, nor does he ever think of his life as being divided into the secular and the sacred. He sees every situation in which he finds himself as the means of obtaining a greater knowledge of Jesus Christ, and he has an attitude of unrestrained abandon and total surrender about him.”

— Oswald Chambers

“He who wishes to be My disciple must deny himself, pick up his cross and follow Me.”

We look for so many other ways to follow Jesus. There must be a more simple way. There must be a way that brings together all I see around me and Him. But the truth is…there isn’t. There is only the cross. There is no other way. Only the Via Dolorosa.
