Hebrews 11:25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
This verse is referring to Moses but I think it would be amazing if it were true about each of us.
I am always amazed by the stories of the early saints. They suffered persecution and even death but many still remained faithful. Today we are tempted by worldly desires, each of which may bring us pleasure. But in reality, they will only bring us pleasure for a season. It is only by keeping the commandments and staying strong that we can have everlasting happiness and joy.

I think this is a powerful statement because it really testifies of how important it is for us to choose the right, even if that involves hardship, then have an "easy" but sinful way of life.
