There is glory that is reserved for the sufferings, If the suffering comes from God. There is something called good in hardships,Good did not give us something bad everything that comes from him is Good.
Everything good comes from God. In the hardships that you encounter in life will be coming from God. We are sure that he mean something Good for us but not all hardships come from God there are hardships in life caused by greedy men, enemies of God, those who love money, those who love only themselves who do not love there neighbours etc. Not all hardships come from God, but we are sure that if a hardship comes from God and God allowed it to happen to us God want to teach us something. Romans 8 verse 18 says, 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.
When apostle paul analysing sufferings or hardships in his life, he said I reckon that sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. Why did he say the sufferings? It's as if apostle paul welcomes the sufferings in him because it is nit worthy to be compared with the glory meaning there is glory that is reserved for the sufferings if the sufferings comes from God. Let see the reason in the book of Romans 5 verse 3,which says, And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also; knowing that tribulation worketh patience.
Verse 4, And patience experience; and experience, hope.
Verse 5,And hope maketh not ashamed, because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the holy Ghost which is given unto us.
The apostle paul is analysing what will be the end result of sufferings if the suffering or hardship come from God. He said not only so we glory in tribulations, sufferings ,problems or untoward things that happen in our lives knowing that tribulation worketh patience. Patience is the fruit of hardships and tribulations, without tribulations and without hardships you will not learn that virtue of patience. Patience is a very nice virtue in life, it makes us triumphant, it makes us professionals, it makes us attain our goals in life. Patience is good but it comes from tribulations and hardships.
There's always a glory for the sufferings that comes from God. Thanks for sharing.
