We are assured by Our Lord that our suffering here on earth will be brief. If we stay faithful to Him we are promised an eternity of happiness. Jesus was a master at putting things into perspective. He always preached with the end goal in mind, Heaven.
This is a good lesson for us. No matter the hardships we endure we should keep in mind that our sufferings will not last forever. Put in the context of eternal life, our existence on earth is just a blip on the screen. Life with God forever is what matters. If we can "keep our eyes on the prize" in this sense then our burdens become much more bearable.
