The trail is hard, it cannot be denied. Scaling the sides of the mountain truly in a daunting task. But trudging the wilderness to reach the top is impossible. No short cut there is worth trying. Any attempt to quicken or ease the journey only results in a soul piercing punishment, unmatched by any physical pain one can inflict, and only pulls us lower. The way of holiness is hard, but the way of the wicked is harder still.
To drag one's body through that hell-bent tangle further from the way makes it more agonizing to turn back and regain lost ground. The way we make for ourselves brings us not to the gates of Heaven but drags us through the circles of hell.
The way to holiness is hard even with the help of our Savior, but the hard things are usually the treasures worth searching for.
