The more holy you are, the more will God delight to honour you. He loves to make use of instruments, which are like himself.

“Here is the paradox of faith: to attempt to exalt myself is to become nothing, adrift in a meaningless universe; to submit to the exalted Lord is to know myself picked up, declared his child, and made vice-regent of the universe, my Father’s home.”

Make the most of the present by celebrating what Christ has done for you in the past & joyfully setting your hope on the grace that’s coming to you when Christ is revealed. 1Pe1:13.
With your past & your future safe & settled in Christ live with peace & joy now.
"Authentic followers of Jesus are a prophetic vision to society not a mirror of it"
