Rom 8:18: I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed to us-ward

The Bible never speaks despondingly about the future. Apostles and prophets alike, quickened by the inspiration of the spirit, look across the ages to the last result, and never hesitate to declare that that result will compensate for all the toil and suffering. If glory cannot come without the pain, it is not unloving to inflict the pain. Do you feel you suffer more than others? Then remember you can estimate better than others how great the glory will be. For the glory will be greater than the sufferings. Remember that whatever you have lost, you have gained a clearer vision of the glory that shall be. And through your sorrows you may also know God better. For sorrow is a revelation of God. Suffering affects only our happiness, but the glory secures our holiness.
