Wait a little longer.
From Spurgeon's sermon, "Songs In the Night"
Your 'head' may be crowned with thorny troubles now,
but it shall wear a starry crown soon.
Your 'hand' may be filled with cares--
it shall grasp a harp soon, a harp full of music.
Your 'garments' may be soiled with dust now;
they shall be white by-and-by.
Wait a little longer.
Ah! beloved, how despicable our troubles and
trials will seem when we look back upon them!
Looking at them here, they seem immense;
but when we get to heaven,
they will seem to us nothing at all.
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are
wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.
For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an
eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our
eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is
seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."
-2 Cor. 4:16-18
