Getting Perspective

"Our bad things will turn out for good. Our good things can never really be lost. And the best things are yet to come." -Jonathan Edwards

Based on...
“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren; 30and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified.” Romans 8:28-30

Tim Keller says, God is not promising better life circumstances, he is promising us a better life. He is promising GLORY.The world’s peace is intermittent based on transitory circumstances. Christian peace is constant based on the never changing love of God.

Jesus set the standard for us. Jesus ran the race for the sake of the joy set before him. Suffering was ahead of him, He is the pioneer and the forerunner.

GLORY is the only thing that can deal with the hurts of our heart.
