“For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace
might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God… For our
light afflictions, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more
exceeding and eternal weight of glory.” (2 Corinthians 4:15 &17)
In other words, everything that God does is for us that we
might through the giving of thanks of many redound or accrue an abundant of grace
because of his glory and greatness. As we give thanks we gain glory or
graciousness and humility which makes us more fit for the celestial kingdom
which helps us overcome our afflictions.
Paul says here our
light afflictions, but I think he means that any affection we might have is light
in comparison to those of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This lifetime is
but a moment and then we are received into glory.
So give thanks, be positive, and see the good in all things,
including our afflictions, and we will be made glorious.
