2 Corinthians 4:16-5:5
Faith in the Lord

"We never give up. Our bodies are gradually dying, but we ourselves
are being made stronger each day. These little troubles are getting
us ready for an eternal glory that will make all our troubles seem
like nothing. Things that are seen don't last forever, but things
that are not seen are eternal. That's why we keep our minds on the
things that cannot be seen. Our bodies are like tents that we live in
here on earth. But when these tents are destroyed, we know that God
will give each of us a place to live. These homes will not be
buildings that someone has made, but they are in heaven and will last
forever. While we are here on earth, we sigh because we want to live
in that heavenly home. We want to put it on like clothes and not be
naked. These tents we now live in are like a heavy burden, and we
groan. But we don't do this just because we want to leave these bodies
that will die. It is because we want to change them for bodies that
will never die. God is the one who makes all of this possible. He has
given us his Spirit to make us certain that he will do it."

Father God, forgive my sins. Thank you for sending Jesus Christ down
to die on the cross and for shedding his blood for me. Three days
later you resurrected him. I accept that. I invite Jesus Christ into
my heart as my Lord and savior. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

God bless you.
