Striving for Paradise

Worshipping God and striving for paradise... thats what its alll about isn't it?? Enduring until the end in faith and good works seasoned with patience. Sometimes I feel so overwhelmed with doing the right thing and being a virtous righteous woman that sometimes I wonder how my life would be if I was not blessed with the truth ( God forgive me for that but I have to be honest). I know that I am very blessed and I recieve many blessings and testimonies of islam and the quran in doing the righteous things that I do but sometimes I just feel burnt out. Living back at home with my family doesnt always help me out either... there mormon and im muslim.. talk about polarity. I dont regret knowing the truth and I know that I have a purpose in knowing this truth but it gets lonely at times along with extra doses of christian preaching from my family. I have to remind myself that my end goal is to be granted into paradise and that if I stay faithful that I will be in gardens of bliss in the hereafter. I imagine Paradise something like the picture all lush and green and nature and almost "angelic"... Something like the Garden of Eden.. I wonder sometimes if the Garden of Eden was/is paradise. Definately worth striving for I think and so as a reminder to myself and also to those reading.... Stay on the straight path and endure to the end worshipping God all along the way for the rewards of the hereafter are paradise.

    Religion is very easy and whoever overburdens himself in his religion will not be able to continue in that way. So you should not be extremists, but try to be near to perfection and receive the good tidings that you will be rewarded.
