"Our inner nature is being renewed day by day," 2 Corinthians 4:16.
Consequently. Even if our outer nature wastes away we don't lose heart ... Oh yeah? Wait a minute! Heavy stuff happens now! True, it makes us suffer right now - and when we've waited that minute, having exhausted our outer nature, it passes. Temporary: passing in time. Time-bound trouble readies us for an immeasurably massive weight yet ahead. An infinite mass of glory. The tough stuff we see now, feel now, sense now does not begin to compare. Well, compared to the colossal brilliance ahead, the present trouble ... feather-weight. The knowledge of home buoys up our inner nature. Going back to the future. To home. To what we don't see right now. But to where God embraces his own in delight. Sky kingdom.
We remind each other today, a brother or a sister, that we're headed home, and where we are right now isn't it. And, together, we give thanks to God for renewing daily hope.
