"Think ahead one million years into eternity and look at our trials from heaven's point of view. From that vantage point, if you were to look back at the seemingly end-less trials of this life, they would seem as brief as a moment. Yet, these momentary afflictions work for us an eternal weight of glory.
Again, looking at our trials from heaven's point of view, thinking ahead one million years into eternity, and then looking back at the afflictions in this life which seemed too heavy to bear, they will seem light as a feather. Yet these light afflictions, work for us a far more exceeding weight of glory."

Sister Annie, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.
God is SPIRIT, spirit can not be seen.
God (Spirit) wanted children (sons and daughters) of God; but he wanted them to have a BODY.
God spoke Christ (the Body) into existence. All the FULLNESS of SPIRIT (the Father) dwells in the SON (BODY of CHRIST).
Revelation 3:14 An unto the angel (Christ, the messenger of the Father) of the Church .....these things say the Amen, the faithful and true witness (of the Father), the BEGINNING OF THE CREATION OF GOD(SPIRIT).
We can not even begin to fully understand the GLORY the SON has had with the Father since the BEGINNING.
The word of God tell us that through the works of the CROSS, Christ is going to give us this SAME GLORY that he shares with our Father.
When we come to this TRUTH, we are ready to be present with the Lord and absent this body.
But; our Father CAUSES us to continue SUFFERING IN THE FLESH, until our appointed time to depart this flesh.
Then this happens:
1 Corinthians 15:54 DEATH is swallowed up in VICTORY.
We are then GIVEN the BODY of CHRIST and the FULLNESS of SPIRIT (GOD).
John 17:21 And the GLORY that thou hast GIVEN me, I have GIVEN THEM; that they may be ONE as we are ONE.
