Consider your circumstances, and look at them today in the light of something much greater.

Christ laid down His life with a holy purpose, with such love and compassion for so sinful a people.

– Am I looking more to what is “seen” or what is “unseen.”
– What is my affliction, compared to what Christ endured for my sake?
