Life As A Christian

When we think about suffering in this life, no one is particularly thrilled about the subject matter. Looking back at Romans 8:18 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. God is trying to send us a message through this verse. What does God mean when He says revealed in us? Revealed in the Greek means to disclose, uncover, or unveil. It also means the salvation and glory that await the believer.  In other words God’s deliverance and brilliance shall be seen and experienced by us. I do not know about you but I’m looking forward to this. In life I’ve suffered so many things at the hands of man, Satan, and myself. The hurt and pain sometimes seemed unbearable but I have always held on to the fact that God knows what He is doing and He has a plan for my life although I might not always see it. When you go through suffering God’s way it causes things to fall off you that was weighing you down and you just did not know it. The pains of this world can take something out of you to make room for God to put something in you. If you learn how to run to Him instead of away from Him, God will bring deliverance to you and cause the brilliance of His light to shine through you.
