Title : Sorrows You Undergo At Present For What Reasons.

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us (Romans 8:18).

  • Word of God tells experiences of so many people's who have gone through sorrowful experiences.
  • People behave different emotions when sorrow comes to their lives.
  • St. Paul reminds us we have eternal hope and these sorrows are restricted only to this life and we are having joy full hope the Kingdom Of God.
  • Nothing (no sorrow) can be matched with the joy that Jesus has prepared us to experience in Heaven.
  • Eternal Hel is the real experience of Sorrows and not the sorrows we undergo in shorter period in this earthly life.
  • Why God do not give everything in happiness throughout our life time?
    • 1Pe 1:6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
    • 1Pe 4:13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
  • God allows us to undergo with numerous sorrows in order to purify us, mould us, perfect us and correct us. But sorrow is only for shorter period.
  • 2Co 4:16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the iInward man is renewed day by day.
  • When you are in midst of sorrow you doubt whether God is Almighty? Or he is not capable rescuing me. Is it correct thinking?
  • Because of sorrow do you feel no more point of living? Your thinking is wrong. Give your sorrow and burden to Jesus Christ.
  • Are you in sorrow full same like Job's sorrows?
  • God turn your sorrows to seek your heavenly Father. Your sorrows makes you turn back your creator.
  • God allows sorrows to your life as God loves you in eternal love and greater calling in your life for God's eternal plan.
    • 1Co 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
  • What you are expected to do in your sorrows?
    • Phi 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.
    • 2Co 7:9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing.
  • God turns your sorrow to green pasture in your life.
    • Isa 53:3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
    • Isa 53:4 Surely he hath borne our grieves, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
    • Isa 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
    • Isa 66:13 As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
    • Isa 66:14 And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the LORD shall be known toward his servants, and his indignation toward his enemies.
    • Isa 57:15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
    • Isa 54:7 For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.
