it's only temporary

For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

—2 Corinthians 4:17

Life can be very tough.

Right now, this very moment, I have good friends and family that are facing trials and struggles of immense proportions.

In the process of living, we're going to face some very difficult circumstances and going to experience some awful pain.

It is hard sometimes to remember that as harsh as the reality of life is, we have an eternal glory in our future.

Life's difficulties simply can't compare to this glory that awaits us.

Our pain is temporary.

The things that cause our pain are temporary.

The treatments, the prescriptions, the therapies, the surgeries, the setbacks are all temporary.

All these things that we have seen and experienced are passing.

But our eternal glory, our indescribable bliss, that wonderful future that we cannot yet see, is eternal... forever... incorruptible... and reserved for us, God's precious children!

We are sons and daughters of a King, and in His kingdom, we will find peace.

Have a blessed day!
