‘Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when they revile
and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for
so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”
Matthew 5:10-12

When we encounter problems because of our faith in Jesus Christ, we can rejoice because we know that our reward in heaven will far outweigh the suffering we are experiencing on earth. That’s why millions of saints have risen above the problem of persecution and trials because they know that their reward will be greatly in eternity.

We need to live our lives with a heavenly perspective. When we are heavenly minded we focus our thoughts and out attention on to the Lord and trust his goodness to work things out.
