A Happy End

James 5:7-11 So be patient brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious crop from his land, being patient with it until it receives the fall and the spring rains. You, too, must be patient. Strengthen your hearts because the coming of the Lord is near. Do not complain about each other, brothers, or you will be condemned. Look! The Judge is standing at the door! As an example of suffering and patience, brothers, take the prophets, who spoke in the name of the Lord. We consider those who endured to be blessed. You have heard about Job's endurance and have seen the purpose of the Lord - that the Lord is compassionate an merciful.

Let me serve my God and bear my trials as those who believe that the end will crown all. My eternal happiness is safe if I trust to Him: all else is mere vanity, which soon will be done with for ever.
