Whether following Jesus leads to a difficult path or not, Jesus reminds us not to look over our shoulder to see who's doing better or worse, but to trust that our life - whether peaceful or not - can not only bring God glory but feel like we found a treasure because of Jesus. (John 21:15-23, 1 Peter 1:6-9)
