Were you really saved? Are you looking for comfort that you were saved? Well, are you anxious to please him? Did sin that was your best friend before become your enemy? And all the things you loved, you did not want to do anymore. And if you fall into them, your conscience is smitten and you hate yourself. There has been a whole change wrought within you.
Then again, you are so grateful to the Lord, you will do harder things for him. You will witness even in the face of hostility and rejection, and being disadvantaged at work because they know you are a Christian believer, and they do not like it perhaps. It is a labour, it is the part that is likely to hurt. You put yourself out. You change your priorities to serve the Lord, to teach Sunday School, visit the community, knock on the doors, do all sorts of things.
When things go wrong in life, when things do not work out as expected, when hardship of some sort comes or inconvenience or disappointment, do we go to pieces? And feel sorry for ourselves and complain. Or can we cope with these things because we realise we are on the heavenly road, that God is our God and Saviour. We have a great happiness, an outcome and destination, which transcends all earthly difficulties.
