Romans 8:18 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.
It’s easy to become discouraged and want to give up, but the Spirit Life is one of diligence, the opposite of giving up.
In fact, the Spirit of God is able to give us hope during the troubled times of our lives.
Though it isn't always easy, it is never impossible. Will we suffer? Yes! Will we groan while we are here? Yes!
Will there be times when we will fail and feel like quitting? Yes!
In those times, remember that we have the Spirit of God within us and He enables us to remain diligent and committed as we travel toward a better country!
O That Will Be Glory

When all my labors and trials are o’er, — And I am safe on that beautiful shore, — Just to be near the dear Lord I adore, — Will through the ages be glory for me.
CHORUS:
Oh, that will be glory for me, — Glory for me, glory for me, — When by His grace I shall look on His face, — That will be glory, be glory for me.
When, by the gift of His infinite grace, — I am accorded in heaven a place, — Just to be there and to look on His face, — Will through the ages be glory for me.
Friends will be there I have loved long ago; — Joy like a river around me will flow; — Yet just a smile from my Savior, I know, — Will through the ages be glory for me.
Charles H.Gabriel 1900
