       I do want to take a moment here and talk about how developing fruit in our personalities and characters on earth benefits us for Heaven. I think a lot of of sometimes wonder why bettering ourselves in certain ways about things pertaining to our character is necessary. Like, for example, why is it important for us to develop patience in this life when perhaps we will not need patience in Heaven? I remember having this conversation with God one time in my own life. I asked him why I needed to develop my patience when I probably wasn’t going to need it in the next life. And I remember that, over time, he showed me that not only is our patience important for our success in this life, but it is also important because the better people we become here on the earth, the more responsibility we will be given in Heaven. If I can continue to develop my character here on the earth and make it better and better, not only will I be given more rewards in Heaven in the future but also I will perhaps have a better experience in Heaven if the Lord Jesus Christ entrusts me with more responsibility in the next life. Developing my patience is pretty important.
