Thy head may be crowned with thorny troubles now, but it shall wear a starry crown ere long; thy hand may be filled with cares--it shall sweep the strings of the harp of heaven soon. Thy garments may be soiled with dust now; they shall be white by-and-by. Wait a little longer. Ah! how despicable our troubles and trials will seem when we look back upon them! Looking at them here in the prospect, they seem immense; but when we get to heaven we shall then.
-Charles Spurgeon
as Paul also says, "I reckon the [troubles of today], do not compare to the glory to come..."
He "reckons": its a thought process, a reflection or contemplation of how the evils of today are compared to our future in Christ and the Father.
Spend some time, brother and sister, put aside a moment for the one that loves beyond all understanding.
