Romans 8:18 "The sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared to the glory which shall be revealed in us." Everything that we enjoy and every object of beauty that we behold has suffered through a time of intense preparation. The olive must be pressed to produce oil and the rose petal must be bruised to bring forth a fragrant perfume. The dough must be kneaded and sent to a hot oven to produce bread and the sculpture or woodcarving must be cut and chipped with a sharp instrument. Precious gold must be heated, melted, and formed and the diamond must be cut. In all of these instances we see that adversity and suffering produces a glorious result.
