Romans 8:18 #10 Encouraging Bible Verse for Hard Times

For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.


This is very important to know and to remember when hard times like the ones we are going thru tend to bring us down. We all are at different places in our walk with God and I am no better of a Christian than anyone else, bc we all have sinned. Im just trying my hardest my make my life better.. TIMES are harddd.. we all know this.. its seems like the only ones living good are the ones who are doing the wrong things to do it.. ie, Drug dealing, stealing or whatever else..

It seems that the ones working the hardest have the least to show for it sometimes.. but you gotta remember that God will supply ALL of our needs according to His riches in glory (Phil 4:19). Hold on and be steadfast..

think of your faith as a goal that you wanna meet. think about it as a workout plan.. think of hard it is to be commited to the gym when there are sooo many fast food restaurants in between you and the gym.. we consider then traps.. The same way we can thing about building our faith and being commited to grow in the body of Christ.. there are sooo many traps in between us and the church that could keep us away.. but if u are commited to living right and seeing that change you will not yield to all the temptations the Devil has put in front of you.. You cant just go to the gym with no plan of attack... you got to read the intruction on the machines to know what muscles you are working on.. so youre gonna have to read you Bible, and receive instructions on how to build your mind in Christ.. and the more you work out.. the more you wanna keep working out.. bc you start to see the change.. so the more you read the word and take heed to it.. you start seeing the change in your life.. and then.. the more you keep working out... and eating right.. people start to see the change on u.. and the more you start living right in the Word.. and starting doing right.. people will start seeing that change in your life... and you start working out soo much that you bring start inviting your friends.. and you get a workout partner.. so you start going to church so much and testifying that you bring your loved ones to church and they become your prayer partners.. and at this point of commitment.. everyone can see that you have made a change in your life for the better and you can now be an example that you were outta shape, lazy, tired, short of breath and unhealthy..but since you been going to the "Gym" you are now a prayer warrior, a peace maker, a cheerful giver, slow to anger, soldier of God.. and I want yall to see my before and after pics one day and tell me, "Boy.. Im proud of all that work you put in.. I can definitely see the change"
