The Christian way is different: harder, and easier.
Christ says, “Give Me All. I don’t want so much of your time and so
much of your money and so much of your work. I want you. I have not come to
torment your natural self, but to kill it. No half measures are any good . . .
. Hand over the whole natural self, all the desires which you think innocent as
well as the ones you think wicked—the whole outfit. I will give you a new self
instead. In fact, I will give you Myself: My own will shall become yours” (C.
S. Lewis, Mere Christianity).
