DO NOT DESPISE SUFFERING. It reminds you that you are on a pilgrimage to a far better place. I do provide some pleasures and comforts along the way, but they are temporary. When you reach your final destination--your home in heaven--I will shower you with pleasures forevermore. In that glorious place there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain. The fullness of Joy you experience there will be permanent, never-ending.

Because you are My treasured follower, I can promise that your suffering will come to an end someday. Therefore, try to view your trouble as momentary and light--producing for you and eternal weight of Glory beyond all measure and surpassing all comparisons!

While you continue your journey through this world, be thankful for the comforts and pelasures I bless you with. And reach out to others who are suffering. I comfort you in all your troubles so that you can comfort others. Offering help to hurting people gives meaning to your suffering--and Glory to Me!

You will show me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
