For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord (Romans 6:23).
God didn’t create you to suffer or struggle through life. Jesus said, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest†(Matthew 11:28). This call is to all those who have found themselves struggling to be successful or achieve anything in life. If your plans include struggling or suffering to get something you don’t have, then you’ve made the wrong plans.
Life is a gift, given to you by God to enjoy. Everything about life, including the world around you, was created for your benefit. All you need to enjoy life to the full is to be yourself and stay in God’s Word. Jesus said, “…I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly (I John 10:10).
You have to realize that God has richly given us all things to enjoy (1 Timothy 6:17). The Bible says “According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue†(2 Peter 1:3). Now you can enjoy the gift of life to the full, because everything you require for absolute success, victory, peace and prosperity has been given to you.
I urge you today to take the study of the Word seriously so you can find out about the things God has freely given to you. That way, you won’t spend your whole life struggling for what’s already yours. Let the Word show you what’s yours in Christ Jesus, so you can enjoy your life to the full.

The Word of God says:
"If anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name" (1Peter 4:12).
"More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us" (Romans 5:3-5).
We shouldn't be looking for trouble in life, but we must nonetheless expect trial and adversity to come. The Lord Himself said that we will encounter it in our Christian life.
After all, if the Church has been bought out of the world, then it is reasonable for the rulers of this World to hate the Church and do everything in their power to make things difficult for her (cf. John 15:18-20).
We still retain our hope in the Living Christ. But it is not because we will not suffer or experience tribulations in this life. Most assuredly we will, and His word says that it is inevitable that these things should happen. But just remember that the Christian has hope in spite of these things, for these things will afflict us only in this present life, and God will vindicate us on the last day. As our Saviour has said:
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid" (John 14:27).
"Truly, truly, I say to you, you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn into joy" John 15:20).
"I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world" (John 16:33).
