Mankind wants glory. We want health. We want wealth. We want happiness. We want all our felt needs met, all our little human itches scratched. We want a painless life. We want the crown without the cross. We want the gain without the pain. We want the words of Christ’s salvation to be easy.
John MacArthur
The Ranch 
How true, and how relentlessly the flesh will fight against the spirit and attack the mind and reason intellectually that this is not of God and we should cast it out. God says that all things work together for good to them that love God and are called according to his purpose.
