“So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.” (2 Corinthians 4:16–18, ESV)
I am coming to the conclusion that there are not many restarts left in my life. There are so many things I hope and pray to accomplish for God before being called home. I know all the replies to that but the truth is I am not likely to have 40 or 50 more years. So that set me to to thinkin about one of my favorite passages 2 Corinthians 4:15-18. By the way I think like Winnie the Pooh (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oq91s1fASc)
- Even as I age and the outer self is no longer well lets just leave it at that. Inside I feel more alive and vital today than I did at 30. All because of what Jesus has done for me.
- The troubles of this life are only momentary.
- What is to come is going to be amazing. THIS IS WHERE I WOULD CALL FOR AN AMEN IN CHURCH.
- I am so grateful to God that what I see in this world and in this life is transient and the things I can’t see except by faith are eternal.
- In this God gives me renewed hope. Hope is the our life energy. Without hope there is little left for life or to exist.
Thank you God.
