Suffering here makes Heaven all the sweeter!

 

Suffering here makes Heaven all the sweeter.

~John Newton

I saw this nice quote on my Mornings with God App this morning, it is a good reminder for us all. While this world, people, governments, and all hurt and cause us pain, God never will. All the suffering here, it is tough sometimes, it hurts. All the hate, negativity, people living in misery. We see so much evil, a lot from our governments, elected, and powers that be. I know I have been frustrated in dealing with my high property taxes and calling the local government, it seems like no one cares, and our government and elected are greedy and corrupted. We have seen priest treat us badly, experienced hate and cancel culture. Even people from my old job make it their goal to dismantle white privilege and are racist toward others with their woke ideology. There is a lot of disappointment and suffering in our world. It comes from people and Satan, many become slaves for Satan, they let him and their hate do very bad things. We have seen a lot of it the past several years with all the persecution toward our president, other international leaders, some governments even trying to censor public comment and shutting up people and their thoughts, mostly causing a lot of hate and fear, division, all out of deep hate, that I am not even sure they understand. It seems like the logic and common sense people had in the past doesn't exist today. We all need to remember not to allow things of this world to get us down. God gave us Jesus, we are called to follow Him, to reflect, imitate, forgive, and love like Him, when we do, we are promised life eternal in Heaven with Jesus where there will be no more suffering or pain!  Yes, Suffering here makes Heaven all the sweeter!
