It is all well worth it. Sometimes we're discouraged and question it, but this verse is an important encouragement:

But you, be strong and do not lose courage, for there is reward for your work." (2 Chronicles 15.7)

These words, originally addressed to a newly-appointed king, are timeless reminders to us. Be strong. Find strength in the LORD. "He gives strength to the weary, And to him who lacks might He increases power." (Isaiah 40.29)

Do not lose courage. It's a frightening and evil world we live in. "Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour." (1 Peter 5.8) But, "greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world." (! John 4.4)

There is a reward for your work. The hope of resurrection and immortality far outweighs any adversity we face in this age. "Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord." (1 Corinthians 15.58)

Claim His promises of strength, courage, and reward. There are blessings in faithful living and service.
