How I wish suffering were not a part of my world. The Apostle Paul, keenly familiar with suffering, offers a perspective we should all strive to achieve. He says these words: “I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed to us” (Romans 8:18). Paul struggled many days during his missionary trips, yet kept the faith and eternal perspective. Are you able to remember that as Christians we have a future and a hope no matter what we are going through now?
