Sufferings of This Present Time Are Not Worthy to be Compared with God's Glory

Today I happened to be reading Romans 8. The second half really spoke to me in a way it never had before. It spoke of having faith in God’s goodness even in the worst of times. Right now I have a friend who just found that her cancer may be back after 10 years. I have another friend who is having his big toe amputated due to an infection caused by diabetes and who has an infection on his heart that may need to be cut out. The son of another friend recently lost his entire left leg, including part of his left hip, and other parts in a motorcycle accident. He is lucky to be alive, but will never have a normal life. Some good friends have a teenage daughter who has been sick for 4+ years and seems to be getting worse and worse. She has had to drop out of school, can barely eat, and basically can’t leave the house. Everything they have tried has either had no effect or seems to make her condition worse. Around the globe there are numerous wars where people are being slaughtered and even risk of a new world war. The US and the rest of the world seem to be entering a time of economic turmoil. There are mass shootings and other terrorists attacks. There are riots leading to destruction of property and lives. There are earthquakes, tsunamis, tornados, and other natural disasters.
