Earthly suffering

Whatever we suffer from in this life is so minute when you understand that we will live forever in God's Kingdom.
Imagine holding a rope in one hand and the length of the rope hidden in your grip represents your life on earth. Then, imagine someone taking the other end of the rope and wrapping it around the world over and over again. All of the rope except what you hold is your heavenly existence. How wonderful is that?! This life is just boot camp for our future service in the presence of God. We're here to worship Him and love Him, to love one another as ourselves, and to spread the Good News to all nations. After that, we'll leave all of the sufferings of this life behind and join Him where there is no suffering and no tears forevermore. Hallelujah!
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time 
are not worth comparing with 
the glory that is to be revealed to us.
Romans 8:18 ESV
