// 2 corinthians 4:16-18 // 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, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
if you have never heard of thoughts to make your heart sing, you need to get yourself a copy. i even use it as part of my quiet times. here's an entry in it that i just love.
...............................................................................................................................................
the whole world is singing a song. have you heard it?
the wind is whispering it in the trees.
the rain is dancing it on the rooftops.
the whole of creation is singing it out together:
'God loves us. He made us. He's very pleased with us!'
it's the song that's been sung since the beginning.
the song God created everything in His world to sing.
it's the song without words. it's the song you were created to sing too.
we forgot our song long ago when we turned and ran away from God.
but Jesus has come to bring us home to God and give us back our song.
so go on - sing your song!

so take heart, brave ones. whatever it is that's beating you down will not last forever. Jesus is bringing us home. do the most you can with the time that is given to you, and all the while keep singing your song.
