Romans 8v18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.

Note here that Paul says “the glory that will be revealed in us.” That’s a powerful statement and often easy to pass over. Christ is going to use us in struggle to bring His glory and hope to the world revealing His identity, His spirit in us. Making us less and Him more. His glory through us, not just to us as we wait out the problem. That is the heavenly reward of perseverance in faith and effectively strengthening our testimony to those around us.
