Robert Traill (Stedfast Adherence to the Profession of our Faith), Works 3:133:

In all your afflictions believe a safe issue, that you shall get well out of all: Many are the afflictions of the righteous; but the Lord delivereth him out of them all, Ps. 34:19. These are they which come out of great tribulation, says the angel to John, Rev. 7:14. There is no affliction can enter heaven, but I believe the best talking of affliction that ever was, is in heaven. All the glorified in heaven understand better all God’s way with them. They were, many of them, plagued every morning, and chastened every moment; their souls were filled with bitterness and sorrow all their life long; yet there is never a one there, but sees that every thing was well done, there was nothing that they could have been without; their guide guided them well, and there is nothing amiss, nothing crooked in all God’s way.

Not only that, but they also understand that their earthly afflictions, as long and grievous as they might have been, were the worst of hell they had to endure. Praise God!
