Hebrews 12:1 (NIV)
God Disciplines His Sons therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.

Do you know something? Out of a thousand people that come in, only one will make a champion but everyone will have the desire to be one but very few will have the commitment. While others are partying, they'll be in the gym. Out of the seventy two He had the twelve, and out of the twelve He had the three and out of the three He had the one. Did He love them all the same? Yes. Were they all willing to pay the same price? No.

There's a cost in Pentecost. There's a cost in where you want to go. There's a cost in being moulded. There's a cost in being shaped. There's a cost in dealing with your own aggression. There's a cost with getting violent with the problem rather than getting violent with the person solving the problem. I can't make a champion. So don't ever, ever get to that point where you stop learning.
