([Location 123](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B001DDLTIU&location=123)) - We are called upon to live Christ's life. We are called into the desert to meet the demon within. We are called to face God alone in the night of our own solitude. We are called to die with Jesus, in order to live with him. We are asked to lose all, to be emptied out, in order to be filled with the very fullness of God. ([Location 134](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B001DDLTIU&location=134)) - Our own ingrained complexity makes the simplest of acts the most difficult to achieve.
