😎 Teen Devotional — Day 58

It Comes with a Cost

“…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)

Being an heir sounds amazing—until you read the second half of the verse.

Yes, you are a co-heir with Christ. Yes, glory awaits. But between now and then comes suffering. Jesus didn’t avoid the cross, and neither do we. But we don’t walk alone.

The Spirit doesn’t erase pain; He walks us through it, and keeps our eyes fixed on the promise of future glory.

Challenge:
What hard thing are you walking through right now? What might it mean to suffer with Christ in it?

Prayer:
Holy Spirit, strengthen me to follow Jesus no matter the cost. Keep me looking to the glory ahead. Amen.
