Not to put words in God's mouth, but part of the suffering is not merely we reap what we sow, but because Satan is the world's first and biggest jerk, he will throw obsticles in our way to discourage us. which means when suffering happens and you know you've been doing waht God wants you to, then know you helped extinguis satan's plan.
On the whole giving it all up for God, well, I am not sure I could mentally prep myself for that. It is one thing I pray for--that i could be able to do so if God asked me too--but with reluctance. I feel like life right now is too good to be true. but i want God to speak audibly like he did to Moses and them with HIS voice, not another person's...that's stubborn of me. anyway, i don't think this means you should feel ashamed, the important part is that you follow god's will and ask him for help. which i know is easier said than done, but he will help you so that his will WILL be done in his timing!
