"Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty... I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led diffcult lives and led them well."
-- Theodore Roosevelt
Take the hard rough and the high road and learn from the experience! This is something that rings so true! "And i said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb" (Revelation 7:14). This is the answer to the question, "What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they" (13)? These are they that sit in the kingdom of God and receive all by His hand.
The scriptures continue to say, "Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that siteth o the throne shall swell among them" (15). From these scriptures it is clear that their is always something required of us. If it wasn't hard it would be worth it. There is nothing in life that is worth it that isn't hard. These are they that have come through great tribulation--life was not easy!
However, because these came through life by the blood of the lamb and endured the hard road, they are promise: "They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes" (16-17). The hardest road has the richest blessings!
Stand tall, lean on the Lord, follow Him, Trust Him, His is the Hard road, but His has the Greatest blessing and the most help!
