The Blessings Hidden Within Our Suffering
The apostle Paul offers us an opportunity to look at our suffering and wounds through different, new eyes:
“Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later.” (Romans 8:18)
- When our suffering goes beyond what we can bear,
- When it makes us doubt His love,
- When we don’t understand the reason for it.
God is reminding us here that the glory awaiting us in heaven is incomparable — it will erase the memory of our suffering. This glory is extraordinary, and it’s reserved for “the one who overcomes,” as the apostle John explains to us in the book of Revelation.
It’s not over…God also wants to use us as a powerful instrument of blessing.
You see, I believe that the most life-giving messages are often found in the deepest suffering. I believe that God can use our past and present wounds to heal people around us today.
Trust God first and foremost. He knows what He’s doing. We may only see the suffering of the present moment, but He holds the big picture of our whole life in His hand.
What made us suffer yesterday can bring encouragement today to someone who desperately needs it.
What’s still hurting today can become a real source of comfort and support tomorrow to someone overwhelmed by distress.
We may no longer see our wounds the same way, now that we know they may help others…for God’s glory.
Be attentive today — encourage someone who is suffering!
Have a blessed day!
