Imagine you one of the world’s greatest artists. You in the process of creating your masterpiece. Someone catches a glimpse of your work during the initial stages. They mention that this creation doesn’t seem to match up with the beauty of your previous works. But they aren’t seeing the final work as you do within your mind. They can’t image the future glory that you see clearly.
Romans 8:18 says, “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.” God has not forgotten you, no matter what you are going through now. He has not forsaken you. And God is not finished with you. Don’t let the sufferings that you experience today cause you to forget the glory that will be yours in this age and in the age to come.
