Nothing compared
Today’s Encouragement is, “Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later.” Romans 8:18
Nothing compared
Some people in this life experience horrible suffering: abuse, persecution, discrimination, genocide, depression, physical or mental illness and disease, the heartbreaking loss of loved ones- the list seems endless. Yet, this most terrible and relentless suffering, unimaginable to those of us who haven’t experienced it, even this - is nothing - compared to the glory that He will reveal to us.
As painful as it is even to imagine this most horrific human suffering, such as Jesus’ agonizing death on the cross, from which comes the word ‘excruciating, ’ even this is Nothing!
There is no downplaying of our human sufferings intended here; these life-threatening and life-taking sufferings are real! Yet the Truth says… as horrible as these sufferings are… they are nothing!
The Glory of experiencing Christ face-to-face in Rev 1:12-16 or the Throne of God in Rev 4 is just a glimpse of the Glory that awaits us in Eternity.
My friends, the incredible joys and the immeasurable sorrows of this life… are but a mist; all this will pass away with our earthly lives.
Yet, you and I will one day witness Glory! It will be revealed to us one day… The Glory of God! And on that day, all the suffering of this life will vanish from our memory as insignificant.
Father God, help us realize that our lives here, our sufferings, our pain, are not worth comparing to Your Glory. Help us keep our eyes on You, focus our thoughts on Your Truth, and continue to trust and hope in You.
We shall Behold Him
