The Eternal Weight of Glory

2 Corinthians 4:16-18
16
So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. 17For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, 18 as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.

Our preacher, Jason, taught on this yesterday. I really loved the way he talked about it. It made me realize things I had never seen before. This affliction that we are under now may seem unbearably heavy right now, but it is nothing when compared to how glorious our eternal reward shall be...so much so that our eternal weight of glory is unworthy of comparison to this life! I'm going to try and keep this in perspective anytime things here 'below the sun' seem bad.
