It is a mystery to Me why many of my children are so dismayed when trials and sufferings come their way. Did not My Son—the first fruit of My lions—suffer untold agony? Did not the great biblical men of God have many obstacles to overcome? Can you think of a disciple of Mine which has not suffered some adversity?
Truly someday all trials and sufferings will be translated into joy. Is this heaven? No, of course not. Heaven—that eternal state of perfection in all of existence—is yet to come. All of creation is truly groaning and suffering together until that day when the sons of God are revealed.
Trials and tribulations come and go, but I remain the same, ever faithful and loving. My ways are truly so much higher than yours, reaching up to the very utmost point of authority and justice in every realm.
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts higher than your thoughts.” (Isaiah 55: 9) Read 1 Peter 4: 13, Romans 8:22.
