For all things are for your sakes, that grace having spread through the many, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God. 2 Corinthians 4:15

“Therefore, we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet, the inward man is being renewed day by day, for our light affliction which is but for a moment, is working for us  far more exceeding weight in glory. While we do not look at the things which are seen, but the unseen, for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.” But are we faithful enough to understand these things? Do we trust God enough to bring us through the situations we face? Are we so overwhelmed by our afflictions, that we lose hope? My brothers and sisters in Christ, we cannot lose heart, we cannot give up, we must be confident of this very thing, that all things happen for our sakes, that grace having spread through us, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.
