Rejoice as you share in the sufferings of Christ

 Rejoice as you share in the sufferings of Christ

 Beloved child of God, when you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior, rejoice as much as you share in the great suffering that has befallen you, for the sufferings you endured were not yours alone, but were with your Lord.  The days are near when you will rejoice as your Lord in the golden dawn of that hope.  If the suffering here weighed heavily on you, when you remember the weight of eternal glory, you would think that the sufferings here for a moment are insignificant. How beautiful is the life of creation with the Creator.  Dear child of God, the more you share in the sufferings caused by Jesus Christ, the more you forget your role in eternal happiness, eternal peace and eternal bliss.  The suffering here is only for 70 years or 80 years.  The sufferings of this world, which are called to reign in eternity in heaven, are just a moment away.
