"Let us settle it in our minds that the Christian fight is a good fight--really good, truly good, emphatically good. We see only part of it yet. We see the struggle, but not the end; we see the campaign, but not the reward; we see the cross, but not the crown.  We see a few humble, broken-spirited, penitent, praying people...but we see not the face of God smiling on them, the kingdom of glory prepared for them...There are more good things about the Christian warfare than we see."

-J.C. Ryle, Holiness.
