many of the trials and troubles we face are meant to teach us deeper and deeper confidence in Him alone.
It is not what we escape, but what we gain, by going to heaven that thrills our souls. It is not our desire to be unclothed, but to be clothed upon, that moves us to seek its residence.
Are you serving the Lord? If so, check your motive. Make sure your desire is to please the Lord and not men.
What problems are you enduring that you cannot endure for a little while longer, knowing that the Lord Jesus will reign over all of the world.
