Being Heartbroken

      When I used to think of heartbreak it always had to do with my own disappointment of some kind. My family is getting ready to embark in a type of heartbreak that we are choosing to, in some degree, put ourselves through. We are struggling to understand how we will do this when we know it will hurt many people. A passage of scripture I recently read gave me chills it is Mark 10:28-30,
      "Peter began to speak to him, 'Look, we have left everything to follow you!' Jesus said, 'I tell you the truth, there is no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for my sake and for the sake of the gospel who will not receive in this age a hundred times as much- homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, fields, all with persecutions -and in the age to come, eternal life." 
     I just can't help but wonder, if I obey then will God be able to use my family in new ways that are better than we've ever experienced before?

I need to know that this pain is going to be worth it.
