Poverty and suffering is NOT fun... but...
...United with Christ on the Cross it is enormously efficacious in our salvation and the salvation of others.
We've got to see the BIGGER PICTURE.. 70-90 years Vs ETERNITY. What God is offering us is so incredible it's no surprise the lament of the Saints is that they'd carried their Cross more willingly, embraced more hardship and discomfort, knowing it is but the most meagre and inadequate gratitude and recompense to the Infinite and Unfathomable Goodness of the Holy Lord, Father, Son and Holy Spirit!
