It will never be easy to follow Jesus.  It would be impossible without the help of the Holy Spirit.  I love the daily conviction of God's Spirit in my life.  It is often hard to obey, but I pray it never becomes difficult to hear.
Without the conviction of the Holy Spirit, I would be lost.  He daily guides my life and leads me to act in a manner more compliant with His will.  After 3 decades of listening and obeying, I would hope that I would be way better than I am.  Unfortunately, it is still a daily struggle to follow Jesus.  Fortunately, it is a daily struggle.
I love the conviction of the Holy Spirit in my life.  He truly is the "Helper & Comforter" that Jesus promised!
that is an excellent point. if something has to be difficult, i would rather have it be the implications of what i clearly hear the Spirit speaking rather than it being a difficulty in hearing Him speak at all.
