THE GLORY OF AFFLICTION

Far, is beautiful, and far is truly great. One of my writings say,

“When I pass through fire, I know that I am being refined ".

With refining, many stones are being examined but not all are refined. And if, you are being chosen to be refined, it means there is an iota of a precious substance in you to be refined. After they have refined, they then test the purity of the substance refined, and that will determine its price on the market. One interesting thing is that, just a little substance will be showcased, and great rich people from far nations will converge and fight for it. Another of my writings says,

“When I'm being shaken, I know that my grounds, my foundation, my stamina, or my roots, is being tested”

Erected bars are being shaken, before a good ground. The concrete poured is being beaten for a good foundation. And As the husbandman adds more soil, the roots are being built up. Even when we fix things, we shake them to check its stamina. It all goes down to that nutrient in the bread of life which says,

Romans 8:18
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.

What a sweet word. But there is something sooo much sweeter that I find and hear it

2 Corinthians 4:17
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.

Great word! Indeed we shall suffer for our glory but did you see how the afflictions are being defined? They are light, not only light but they are just for a moment! Not just a moment too, but the affliction itself works for us. And how the glory is being defined? The glory is far, not just far but more, not just again more, but exceeding, not just exceeding, but eternal!!!!! Be refined today, and you won’t have to pass through the fire tomorrow. I say be shaken today, and you shall not be moved tomorrow.
