Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. - Romans 5

Sigh...in the church we spend many many MANY more times complimenting each other for looking fashionable or congratulating them for succeeding in a worldly manner (good grades, new job, college acceptance etc) than we compliment or congratulate someone for being counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name.

 Do you not see a problem? Who do we live for?

    Person 1: Congrats on graduating! What are you going to do afterwards, etc., etc.
    Person 2: Thanks, I'm gonna blah blah...

    Person 1: Congrats on being counted worth of suffering disgrace for the Name!
    Person 2: ...OK?
    Person 1: *silence*
    Person 2: *awkward silence*
    *Praising God in the silence of our hearts*
