Why would I want to do something that hurts? Because God assures us that on the other side of the pain there is something worth having. Just about everything of value comes on the other side of one kind of pain or another. Sacrifice is woven into the fabric of love. In the present order, there can be no love without it. If we are serious about being a follower of Christ, we need to reconcile ourselves to the fact that there will be sacrifice involved.

Just me trying to be honest with God.
