It stands to reason that the more a person suffers here,
on earth, the greater his joy will be there, in heaven,
where suffering will be replaced with everlasting joy.
The ransomed of the Lord will return.
They will enter Zion with singing;
everlasting joy will crown their heads.
Gladness and joy will overtake them,
and sorrow and sighing will flee away.
Isaiah 51:11 NIV
