Psalm 112:4-10

Psalm 112:4 Light shines in the darkness for the upright. He is gracious, compassionate, and righteous.
Psalm 112:5 Good will come to the one who lends generously and conducts his business fairly.
Psalm 112:6 You see, he will never be upended; The righteous one will be remembered permanently.
Psalm 112:7 He will not fear bad news; his heart is confident, trusting in Yahveh.
Psalm 112:8 His heart is assured; he will not fear. In the end, he will look in triumph on his foes.
Psalm 112:9 He generously gives to the needy; his integrity endures continuously. He will be vindicated and honored.
Psalm 112:10 The wicked one sees it and is angry; he gnashes his teeth and melts away; what the wicked wants will be destroyed!

in the end

The good news for the upright is not that we will never experience darkness, bad news, or a delay in what we want. The good news is that we will never lose his light on his path. In the end, we will be honored and vindicated no matter how much dishonor or how bad our reputation gets down here.

Of course, the end is not the end of our life, but the end of our death. When Jesus returns, it will all be worth it.
