Our Present Sufferings

This is one of the many verses in the Bible that gives me comfort.  Comfort that the 41 years Lynda suffered here on earth are nothing compared to the glory that has been revealed to her when she met God her father, Jesus her brother, and the Holy Spirit who has interceded for us all since the beginning of time.

 Romans 8:14-21

Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)
14 All those led by God’s Spirit are God’s sons. 15 For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father!” 16 The Spirit Himself testifies together with our spirit that we are God’s children, 17 and if children, also heirs—heirs of God and coheirs with Christ—seeing that[a] we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.


From Groans to Glory

18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is going to be revealed to us. 19 For the creation eagerly waits with anticipation for God’s sons to be revealed. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility—not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it—in the hope 21 that the creation itself will also be set free from the bondage of corruption into the glorious freedom of God’s children. 


GLORIOUS FREEDOM.  Lynda has glorious freedom forever and ever and the Bible says that all she suffered here is nothing compared to what she's experiencing now.  Praise God as He reveals a little more of heaven to me each day easing the pain of giving up my Lynda.
