22:34 Now when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they assembled together. 22:35 And one of them, an expert in religious law, asked him a question to test him: 22:36 “Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?” 22:37 Jesus said to him, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 22:38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 22:39 The second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 22:40 All the law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.”

The Master and creator did not promise Heaven on Earth. He warned us that to get through this life we must pray for all we’re worth. He never said our every wish would be granted without consideration. He even warned us that there would be times of sadness and humiliation. He never ever promised to take away every affliction. He warns us daily lest our habits become a troublesome addiction. He told us we would be looked down upon for the sake of his holy name. He also encourages us so we do not treat others the same. Love those who do evil to you was one of his great commands. It may seem insurmountable but he will give strength so we can withstand. Let not your hearts fade though other men steal and kill and hate. These things you must endure till you reach Heavens Pearly gates. Love God with all your heart and soul and all your mind and if you do Even when life gives you heartaches and troubles he will see you through.

You are right dear friend, there are some things that we must endure before we make it home to Heaven! God tells us this in his word, the troubles and sins that seem to be raging across the world are completing the bible! Great write, love the powerful and wise message in the final two lines! Have a great Sunday!
Blessings,
