Affliction makes us long for heaven because we become increasingly aware that this world is not our home. When our dreams are broken, it’s harder to be like Demas, in love with the present world (2 Timothy 4:10), and it becomes easier to heed John’s admonition not to love the world or the things in it (1 John 2:15). Our suffering will make heaven even more glorious for us and will increase our eternal joy as we glimpse what God accomplished through it.
