“For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” (Rom 8:18 KJV)
Remember falling down as a child and scaring your knee, leg arm or some other body part? Remember how it bled and hurt then finally, a scab was formed over the abrasion? For days and sometimes weeks you suffered the pain of the healing process. Then one day, almost miraculously, the scab fell off to reveal the bright and pink newly healed skin. It is at that point that one can say the suffering was worth it! You may be suffering right now perhaps from a fall or failure in life that has left you bruised, scared and going through the healing process. Be encouraged and know that Glory is being developed and will be revealed in you!
Prayer: Lord, although we must sometimes go through the process of suffering, we remain thankful and encouraged because of the glory that you are developing and revealing in us! Amen.
2 Cor 3:18. . . .And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. NIV
