"For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us." -Romans 8:18
Are you suffering today? Try to imagine what it will be like when your suffering ends and you are enveloped in the glory of God and His Kingdom that is coming. Sometimes when I feel overwhelmed with life, I imagine putting all of my troubles into a sail boat and pushing them away from me and watching them disappear over the horizon never to return.
In Christ we have the promise that our suffering does not compare with the coming glory. So if you can, if but for a moment, place your troubles into a boat constructed by two beams of wood, horizontal and vertical, and understand that in the cross your suffering has value, meaning, and purpose. And one day will completely disappear over the horizon of eternity. The suffering will pass but what you learn will remain forever.
Keep your faith moving forward
