The fruit of long suffering is only produced through trials. The ability to suffer long through trials is the same exactly as the ability to endure to the end. Before I faced the execution on the tree, I endured the cross because of the joy that was set before Me.
It is My joy that will strengthen you to endure every trial that you go through while you live on Earth. My joy will strengthen you. I knew the rest of the story when I faced the horrific trial of My death. I knew that through My perfect sacrifice, mankind would forever have the opportunity to believe in Me and be reconciled to My Father. I also knew that My resurrection would pave the way for those you die believing in Me to also be resurrected.
When you focus on Me and what awaits you at the end of your life, you will be able to see that the temporary afflictions and trials you experience on Earth are but for a moment. My Spirit will help you keep that focus in the days ahead.
