Suffering is Temporary

“[But what of that?] For I consider that the sufferings of this present time (this present life) are not worth being compared with the glory that is about to be revealed to us and in us and for us and conferred on us!” Romans 8:18 AMP
We all suffered to some degree in our lifetime. Some of us will experience hardship in the form of sickness, mental torment, financial lack, betrayal, isolation, loneliness, heartaches, loss of a job, loss of a child, loss of a father or mother, loss of pride, loss of a limb or part of a body, loss of faith, loss of trust and the hardest of all – the loss of hope. In one word, it is called suffering and it’s not easy.
I understand that there is no magic word to get out from our suffering. I know that sometimes we have to go through all the hardships before we can appreciate the true meaning of the situation. Once we fully immersed through the hardest of the hardest of time and we are able to see the effect of suffering and we say to ourselves – “I know why I went through all the sufferings.”
I want to give you hope as Paul mentioned in this verse that these sufferings is nothing compared to the glory that we will experience as we are being transferred to our next final place. Better yet, even while we are here on earth, we are provided a way out to our bad situation.
Keep the faith!
