depends on our attitude

"The denying of self or the presenting of our bodies as living sacrifices comes hard or moderately easily to us, depending mostly upon our attitude. If the thing or pleasures given up for the service of Christ still beckon appealing to us as we look backward or around on them, we have no altogether sacrificed them. Our sales resistance is not increased by peering longingly into display windows and certainly not by pricing the objects of our admiration. We will always consider it a burden to give them up and will find our journey a wearying one, if we look backward longingly with divided hearts."
