Heirs of Glory
Empowered: The Holy Spirit in the Life of the Believer devotional series
“…and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ—if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.” — Romans 8:17 (NASB 1995)
What a staggering truth: we are heirs of God—not merely beneficiaries of blessings, but co-heirs with Christ Himself. It means the Kingdom isn’t just something we look forward to—it’s part of our identity now.
But there’s a condition we often avoid: “if indeed we suffer with Him.” The path to glory walks through trials. Yet the Spirit within us strengthens us to endure, testifying that even suffering isn’t wasted. It shapes us to reflect Jesus.
Reflection:
Do you see your trials as part of your inheritance journey? How might the Holy Spirit be using them to form Christ in you?
Prayer:
Spirit of God, help me walk through suffering with eyes fixed on the inheritance ahead. Teach me to trust the glory You are preparing. Amen.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
