Quote by Rick Warren
“Corrie ten Boom, que estuvo recluida y sufriendo en un campo de concentración nazi, explicó el poder del pensamiento concentrado: «Si miras al mundo, te afligirás. Si miras tu interior, te deprimirás. Pero si miras a Cristo, ¡reposarás!».25 Tu enfoque determina tus sentimientos. El secreto de la paciencia es recordar que tu dolor es temporal, pero tu recompensa será eterna. Moisés soportó una vida de problemas «porque tenía la mirada puesta en la recompensa».26 Pablo resistió las penalidades de la misma manera. Él dijo: «Nuestros problemas presentes son bastante pequeños y no durarán mucho tiempo. ¡Sin embargo, producen para nosotros una gloria inmensamente grande que durará para siempre!».27 No cedas ante el pensamiento a corto plazo. Mantén tu mirada enfocada en el resultado final: «Si hemos de compartir su gloria, también debemos compartir su sufrimiento. Lo que sufrimos ahora no es nada comparado con la gloria que él nos dará después».28”
