As frustratingly impossible as it seems, what now looks and feels like an utterly useless struggle has the potential to become the very thing that wins you endless acclaim. Mysteriously, what in a very real sense is the lowest point in your life could the high point – not, of course, that you will not have times that are incomparably more enjoyable but that your current endurance will be your eternal glory. It is like an adventurer or inventor or war hero who is forever honored not for some flash of brilliance or natural ability but simply for staggering on when others would have given up. Such people are honored not because success was likely but because it seemed almost foolishly impossible as they stumbled on alone and largely or completely forgotten.

Consider, for example, how Jesus’ torment on the cross was in one sense his lowest point and in another sense his greatest glory. What at the time seemed his total humiliation and defeat is the very thing for which he has ever since been most loved, honored and adored for generations by millions of people. “I’m not Jesus,” you might scream in annoyance of me even mentioning it. That’s true, but through him everything can suddenly turn around and end up being seen forever by you and all of heaven in a vastly different light. Don’t judge the story of your life before waiting for the surprise ending.
