>>13725343Do you believe that you will always have spiritual comfort after you own will? No, no; My saints did not have such spiritual comfort. They had many great griefs and various temptations and great desolation, but they bore all with patience, and trusted more in Me than in themselves, for they knew well that the sufferings of this world cannot of themselves merit the glory that is ordained for them in the kingdom of heaven. Would you expect to have immediately what others before you could scarcely obtain after great weeping and labor?
Await patiently the coming of our Lord. Do His bidding manfully, be comforted in Him, and do not mistrust Him. Do not quit His service because of suffering or fear, but expose you body and soul constantly to His honor, in all good physical and spiritual toil, and He will reward you most fully for your good work, and will be with you and help you in every trouble that may befall you. So it may be.
