Should our load seem too heavy, be assured that these will not last forever.
One day we will step out of this life of trials into an eternity free from even the hint of pain, Rom. 8:18; 2 Cor. 4:17.
Until then there will be burdens but the good Lord has promised to get us through even the worst of times.
2 Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

“My heart can sing when I pause to remember — A heartache here is but a stepping stone — Along a trail that’s winding always upward, — This troubled world is not my final home.
“But until then my heart will go on singing, — Until then with joy I’ll carry on, — Until the day my eyes behold the city, — Until the day God calls me home.
“The things of earth will dim and lose their value — If we recall they’re borrowed for awhile; — And things of earth that cause the heart to tremble, — Remembered there will only bring a smile.
“This weary world with all its toil and struggle — May take its toll of misery and strife; — The soul of man is like a waiting falcon; — When it’s released, it’s destined for the skies.”
