We ought to learn this life-secret!
"You have made known to me the path of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence — with eternal pleasures at Your right hand!" Psalm 16:11
This is a wonderful secret which all of us ought to learn: not to think so much about the toil and hardness of the way — but to look beyond to the glory of the end. It does not matter how rough the road is — if only it brings us to our Heavenly home at last!
Many of us go worrying all through this life, keeping our eyes always downcast on the path we are treading.
We see all the troubles, the difficulties, and discouragements — but we never raise our eyes to see the joys and the blessings that are waiting for us in Heaven!
We ought to learn this life-secret , which made Christ look past the shame and sorrow of His cross — and see only the glory beyond. Learn to look up toward Heaven.
Think of its eternal joys and blessedness — until earth's trials shall melt away in the brightness, and its griefs and losses be forgotten in the hopes of glory!
"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God!" Hebrews 12:2
