I got this from Hope Always, as a post by "smichelles", but it was SO beautiful that I had to post it here as well. Every time I read it I cry, it is PRICELESS!
THANK YOU SMICHELLES!!!!

The greater the sacrifice, the greater the reward. You never give up anything for Jesus. Only the carnal mind tells you, "This is hardship. This is something I can't enjoy. This is a difficulty. This is what I'm giving up. This is what I have to suffer." If you would listen to your spiritual heart, you would hear, "This is the honor bestowed on you. This is a privilege given only to a few. This is a gift from the hand of Jesus. This is something you will never regret having done. This will make your face shine forever as an eternal testimony of God's thankfulness for your love for Him." His gift to you is that your sacrifice will always shine, like diamonds in the sky.
