recently i have been reading through Corinthians...once again this morning i was encouraged by God's great love. It was one of those mornings, when my first inclination was not to open the bible, but busy my self with other things.

& once again i was putting all my hope in things, not in my Father who is unchanging.

2 Corinthians 4:8&9
We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.

vs. 16-18
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
