suffering in the flesh
in our life on earth
for man or for the Gospel,
That is our choice…
 
turning from the world
to follow the Christ
healing in our turning
in starting a new life…
 
suffering as an investment
not a burden to carry
resistance of temptation
for our heavenly reward…
 
not earning salvation, but
storing up treasure in heaven
not living for the flesh
but following Christ Jesus…
