The Christian persecution and trouble are not the end; beyond lies the life it brings to him. It sometimes means that a man has to undergo a painful operation or course of treatment, but he welcomes the pain and the discomfort it brings, as long as there is something to look forward to - and the Christain can look forward to the ultimate joy. When we bow before the King and lay our crowns at His feet. To hear that we endured to the end. To hear the words, "Well done my good and faithful servant." The persecution becomes a perfume that we may offer to God as a sweet sacrifice unto Him for all eternity. May heaven be filled with the perfume of our persecution.

1 Peter 1:6-7
