Rejoice in suffering, for there is no reward in Heaven for living a life of ease and luxury.
Luke 6:22  Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.
23  Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.
24  But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.
25  Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.
26  Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.

They who suffer on behalf of the Lord have laid up for themselves exceedingly great rewards and treasures in the everlasting and eternal Kingdom of Heaven.
Matthew 5:11  Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12  Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

Rejoice! Rejoice!
