By no means does GOD promise less suffering for the chosen, but you can put your trust in HIM, thro' the suffering...HIS name is Jesus Christ!
“He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.”
