For this is thankworthy,
if a man for conscience toward God endure grief,
suffering wrongfully. -- 1 Peter 2 verse 19 (Kings James Bible)
Valuing God’s presence more highly than the adversity
for doing right, that you willingly put up with pain,
troubles, difficulties, hardships, etc., without complaint
or ill temper ...
- For love of Him …
- To be right with Him …
- Because of being forgiven of Him … and
- To keep His favor and His blessings flowing in
your life …
are all expressions of gratitude and appreciation that
God highly respects and continues to reward.
May God's Word strengthen your hope and confidence in Him.

For further study and inspiration:
For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall
take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it
patiently, this is acceptable with God.
9. Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise
blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should
inherit a blessing.
10. For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain
his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:
11. Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and
ensue it.
12. For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears
are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against
them that do evil.
