privilege of suffering

Suffering on the cross for My sake, and in obedience to My Will, is a privilege and an honor. Only while your feet touch earth will you have this opportunity. Jump at the chance to suffer for Me now while you can. You can serve Me in martyrdom and laying down your life to the point of great pain now. Philippians 1:29 For to you it has been granted for Christ’s sake, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake Acts 5:41 So they went on their way from the presence of the Council, rejoicing that they had been considered worthy to suffer shame for His name. Philippians 3:10 that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death 2 Timothy 2:12 If we endure, we will also reign with Him; If we deny Him, He also will deny us
