Waiting on the World to Change
No matter how much we focus and prepare to fight, suffering will always be here and now. It will always be with you. The is no escaping suffering. While my words were designed to help you, give you hope to carry on, there will be valleys and dark nights that lay ahead.
No sermon, no three step solution, no practical advice will help you through untold pain, through the suffering that life can bring. We all understand what it feels like being human. We, as a church, must not try to stop our suffering, but to recognize it in others, bear it together, and overcome it in the end. We must stop seeing our differences and see our common link. That we are all suffering little children, no different than those in India or around the world. We are all waiting on the world to change, saint and sinner alike. But we are not without a promise.
Romans 8:17-19
17.And if children, then heirs; heirs of God , and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together .
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.
19.For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
If we are children than we are heirs with Christ, our suffering is NOT in vain. It will be worth it all! In the end the glory will overcome every trial! Every sacrifice! Every one of suffering, will be revealed in our promised hope of Jesus Christ. It cannot, will not even compare. The world is waiting for the revelation of the children who went through the fire and came out a son. The suffering little children that became the glorified sons and daughters of God! You may be going through it. But you have a promise that you are going through! Having done all you can stand! It shall not compare in the end!
