    The first time you see and hold your baby its all worth it! Jesus endured the cross for the joy that was set before him. Endure the labor for the joy (your precious little baby) that is set before. The word says anyone who labors come to me and I will give you rest. Keep your eyes focused on Jesus and the price that he paid for you. He redeemed us from the curse by becoming a curse for us!!
