2 Corinthians 4:13-18
Today's Scripture

Outwardly we waste away. Our bodies age, we get sick, things here on earth just don't last. We can fix our eyes on what is unseen--a seemingly impossible thing to do, but if we have eyes that long for eternity, we can long for heaven.

Just as God raised the Lord Jesus from the dead, we will also be raised. We can look forward to that time when our old selves will be permanently put away and we can rejoice with our new bodies, in glory in heaven.

These thoughts help us endure the hardships that come upon us in this life. One day, there will be no more tears, weaknesses, or suffering. The eternal glory we receive will far outway any temporary trials. As we long for that day, let us seek to make our lives count now for eternity--living each day for Jesus.
