Reflection questions:

Reflect on harder times in your life or in the lives of others close to you – in what ways can you see that God was using the experience, although painful, for your/their good – how did it help you/them become more like Jesus?
How does the certain hope that we shall one day be with Jesus in glory shape our view of our present suffering?
How do these truths help us to encourage others who are going through difficult times?
