Paul went through serious affliction in his life having been stoned twice, left for dead, jailed in chains at least twice, reviled, beaten, ridiculed even by supposed Christians.
Yet in a clear moment he could write, "For momentary light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond comparison, when we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen, for the things which are not seen are eternal." 2 Cor. 4:17-18
So no matter how hard I may feel that I have it (and Paul had it much worse, obviously) for God's sake, the glory of his gift given as a reward, which God is glad to give, will be so immensely much greater.
"Who is like the Lord our God? Who enthroned on high? Who humbles himself to behold the things that are in heaven and on the earth?
"He raised the poor from the dust, the needy from the ash heap to make them sit with princes. He makes the barren woman to live in the house as a joyful mother of children." Psalm 113:5-9
