hardly a crutch

The Christian life is a disciplined life. This is neither easy or simple to constantly go against the grain of society, to constantly be rubbed in the wrong direction, to constantly have to put down yourself, and still be full of Joy. To follow Christ is NO Crutch - it is a cross to bare. However, the payoff is an eternity of freedom. My flesh WILL do what my spirit tells it to do. It will NEVER be the other way around.
