does God compensate us for our suffering?

i'm getting more and more convinced of the idea that God compensates us for our sufferings.. juz like in Job, after that horrible dunno how many years of bitter and terrible loss and suffering, Job received 7 times his original possessions..

one church sister shared how she felt like Job in teh 9 months of "hell" when she worked in a company with nasty colleagues.. then later got into company tat was "heaven".. full of wonderful colleagues who shared close-knit relationships. and incidently, i was itchy-handed enough to calculate the ratio between teh good times she had and the times she lost in that suffering.. and it was really 7 lo.. she spent 9 months in the "hell" job and in her words, "5 and a half years" in teh "heaven" company.. the ratio is roughly equals to 7.. woo....

and for me, i suffered 3 years too..mebbe not as bad as "hell", but bad nevertheless. and now im' feeling so much better than 1 year ago, and even 1 year ago i was feelign so much better htan 1 year ago before. hopefully i will continue to stay in teh light, and even go to brighter places..

Please God, let me see more and more of Your face as the days go by.. amen.

so, for my fellow brothers and sisters who are suffering.. endure, be patient, for ur reward will come after.
