It Will Be Worth It All - When We See Jesus!
Romans 8:18, 24
"For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed to us...in this hope we are saved."
From Charles Spurgeon --
"Here is a precious truth for you, believer. You may be poor or suffering or unknown, but for your encouragement take a moment to review your calling. As surely as you are God's child today know surely all your trials will soon come to an end, and you shall be rich to an extent that is hard to imagine.
Wait a while and your weary head will wear the crown of glory. Do not bemoan your troubles, but rejoice that you will later be where no longer 'shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore.'
You are secure. The voice that called you at first shall call you again from earth to heaven, from death's dark gloom to heaven's unuttered splendors.
The heart of Him that has justified you beats with infinite love for you. You will be with the glorified, where your portion is. You are only waiting here to be made ready for the inheritance, and with that done, the wings of angels will carry you to the mount of peace and joy and blessedness, where...'Far from a world of grief and sin, with God eternally shut in, you shall rest forever and ever.'"
'Today you shall be with Me in Paradise,' Jesus told the man on the cross. Do you ever wonder if God will whisper those words to us as He brings us home?
My husband died 2 years ago this week. Did he hear those words? I think so....
