From Struggle to 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)
You’re not just surviving life—you’re heir to something eternal. As a co-heir with Christ, you’re promised more than comfort or popularity—you’re promised glory. But don’t miss this: that glory comes through suffering, not around it.
Jesus didn’t avoid pain—He walked through it. And the Spirit that raised Him now lives in you, helping you endure every moment, every heartbreak, every trial.
Challenge:
Write down one way God might be shaping your character through something hard right now. Invite the Spirit to strengthen you in it.
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, I want to be more like Jesus. Help me not to run from suffering but to walk through it with You, holding on to the hope of glory. 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.
