Is it enough?

When you're persecuted for being a Christian, isn't it wonderful to know it's because you're living a life of obedience that is pleasing to God and not to the world? When you have to walk through valley, isn't it enough to know that you're lead by the hand of an almighty God who will never leave, not even for a breath of a second? Isn't is beautiful to know that the straight and narrow road that often seems lonely is filled with blessings beyond your wildest dreams? And isn't it awesome to know that though you may be a stranger and pilgrim here, you're really the child of the King who owns it all? Life is a vapor, and then it's gone. Sometimes it just takes a new perspective to realize that the "woe is me" feeling can dissolve just like that when you realize that you've been counted worthy to walk in the footsteps of Jesus.
