I have seen you struggle. I have seen the troubles you are going through. I have heard you calling out to Me to free you from the pain you are in. I will bless you indeed! I bless those who persevere under trial. After you have withstood the test, you will receive the crown of life for persevering and continuing to follow Me.
I promise this to all those who love Me. My kingdom of heaven will belong to the poor in spirit. I will comfort those who mourn. The meek will inherit the earth. I will fill up those who hunger and thirst for righteousness.
I will show mercy to those who show mercy. The pure in heart will see Me. The peacemakers will be My children. My kingdom will belong to those who are persecuted for My sake. All are blessed indeed!
Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, “Oh, that you would bless Me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with Me, and keep Me from harm so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted his request.
— 1 Chronicles 4:10
Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.
