Great glory awaits those who suffer patiently till the end

"In my estimation, all that we suffer in the present time is nothing in comparison with the glory which is destined to be disclosed for us.” Romans 8:18

The life of a true Christian involves suffering, which means the humble and meek acceptance of God’s Will, which is very often not in accordance with our will. Sometimes we may feel the going quite hard, at other times we may feel as if we cannot go on even a bit further! St. Paul, seeing the great glory awaiting those who say “Yes” to God’s Will at all times, encourages us to persevere, to resolutely hold our ground till the last moment, when God will say to us, “Come, blessed of My Father to take your reward, prepared for you since the foundation of the world!”
