Revelation 21:4, ""And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."" This is a wonderful life that God has promised us, especially nowadays disasters become greater and greater, soaring prices, and illnesses make us feel that life is very bitter and tiring. We are all the more longing to get rid of suffering and live a better life without pain and tears as soon as possible. So how can we get rid of our suffering and live a better life?

Jesus Christ said: “Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened to ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom comes; go you out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go you rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut” (Matthew 25:1-10). Two thousand years ago, Jesus Christ once told us a very vivid parable about who can enter the kingdom of heaven. He said that only the wise virgins are able to welcome the bridegroom, and the foolish virgins who don’t take oil with them cannot. When I read this Was my preparing oil in this way not in accordance with the Lord’s will?
