A long hard struggle

A long hard struggle

It’s a long, hard struggle through life, but the Lord makes it a lot more pleasant. Oh, it isn’t easy for anyone, but admittedly, some have it much worse than others. We suffer many things in this life; sickness, deaths, persecutions, mockeries, even beatings for some, but the Lord sees us through if we will just hang on. Each moment seems to hold a blessing or a curse for us; every step we take can bring about a new disaster, or a new blessing, but the Lord is there with us through it all; He is there to guide us through, and to make the path easier to tread, and He does that well. No matter oh Christian friend, how hard your plight, it would be worse without Jesus. Jesus never fails; He suffers long, and is kind; He envieth not; is never puffed up; He does not behave Himself unseemly, and seeketh not His own; is not easily provoked, and thinks no evil at all. He rejoices in the truth, bears all things; believes all things; hopes all things for us, and endures all things for us; He is charity manifest in the flesh, and we would be very wise to walk close to him through this life. He has overcome the world with its maladies and temptations, and knows the paths of Truth; yea, we would be wise to follow Him, even unto the end.
