"Il n'y a pas de porteurs de couronne au ciel qui n'aient été porteurs de croix ici-bas."
— Charles Spurgeon

Simplified Meaning:
To enjoy rewards or recognition in the afterlife, people must work hard and face difficulties in their current life. Imagine a student who wants to graduate with honors. They need to study hard, sometimes late into the night, and maybe miss out on fun activities with friends. All this hard work and sacrifice eventually lead to receiving awards at graduation. Similarly, in life, those who patiently deal with challenges and make sacrifices often find peace and fulfillment later. So, to gain something valuable, whether on earth or in the afterlife, you often need to go through struggles first.
