"I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us." (Romans 1:18)

Everybody suffers, or hurts, or struggles--everybody. You can use whatever word you want, but the experience of pain -- physical and emotional -- is universal.

Jesus suffered for our sins on the cross, but He also suffered through all the painful parts of living a regular human life -- just as we do.

Does the fact that everybody suffers in life make it okay?

Does the fact that death and mourning and sorrow and pain are normal make that okay?

No, it doesn’t!!!

The glory that we're promised will make up for the pain of this life.

Do you tend to think of hard times in this life as normal? What do you imagine the glory of living for eternity as a child of God will be like?

Thank God that your current sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory to be revealed in you as God's child.

Read Colossians 3:1-4 and try to practice it today.

Colossians 3:1-4 (The Message)

He Is Your Life

 ^1-2 So if you're serious about living this new resurrection life with Christ, act like it. Pursue the things over which Christ presides. Don't shuffle along, eyes to the ground, absorbed with the things right in front of you. Look up, and be alert to what is going on around Christ—that's where the action is. See things from his perspective.

 ^3-4Your old life is dead. Your new life, which is your real life—even though invisible to spectators—is with Christ in God. He is your life. When Christ (your real life, remember) shows up again on this earth, you'll show up, too—the real you, the glorious you. Meanwhile, be content with obscurity, like Christ.
