My flesh wants PAINLESS sanctification!

My flesh (ShepherdDave) is suffering-avoidant, and really wants to be more Jesus-dependent/faith-filled but wants pain-free growth.  What ShepherdDave doesn’t understand, is that suffering produces perseverance, then character, then hope/faith/dependency/humility/contentment.  ShepherdDave doesn’t wanna hear about suffering.  He wants EASY.  None of this harrrd stuff.  No adversity.  Wants everything going his way.

Why does ShepherdDave want to be more faith-filled, fruitful with the lost, Jesus-dependent, holy, godly, obedient, loving, humble?  So he can feel good about himself.  ShepherdDave’s motivation for following Jesus is self-centered.  ShepherdDave is way-more concerned about his own glory, than Jesus’ glory.  The imputed worthiness of Jesus is UNsatisfying to ShepherdDave.  He wants some worthiness of his OWN.
