Life is not easy sometimes. Sometimes life is tough. We have medical crisis. We have financial crisis. It’s a troublesome world and the people who are in it are troubled with troubles almosy every minute (thank you Dr Suess).
In this terribly broken world the sufferings we go through can almost seem unbearable. The reality is that no matter what we are going through if we look there is always someone going through more than we are. Everyone’s real sufferings are very real to them.
We have a great promise though. These sufferings are not forever. They are only temporary. They will passs.
And they are nothing when we compare them to the glories which we will one day see in heaven. One day it will be worth it all when we see Jesus. One day our trials will seem so small when we see Christ.
There is an Irish phrase that fits here. I hesitate to use it because the militant IRA and others have sort of tried to make it their own, but is really expresses the feeling here.
‘ Tiocfaidh ár lá’ is the phrase. My best attempt at an English phonetic pronounciation would be ‘CHUCK-ee are la.’ It means ‘our day will come.’
We can be assured that no matter how bad it is today our day will come and we will spend eternity with Him.
