Wherever you are right now, look around. Jesus is with you right where you are. Really. He never leaves us nor forsakes us. Never. That means He’s always with us. Yipee!
Don’t let yourself get bogged down with this life. Rejoice in what’s ahead for us each day – and into eternity – just because we’re His children. Doing so adds so much joy to today and every day…
13 But we continue to preach because we have the same kind of faith the psalmist had when he said, “I believed in God, so I spoke.” 14 We know that God, who raised the Lord Jesus, will also raise us with Jesus and present us to himself together with you. 15 All of this is for your benefit. And as God’s grace reaches more and more people, there will be great thanksgiving, and God will receive more and more glory.
16 That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. 17 For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! 18 So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.
2 Corinthians 4:13-18
Praise God. Soon, we’re going to be physically with Jesus – Forever. Keep your eyes on the prize.
13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:13-14
Keep looking up, dear friends.
Thanking and praising God in all things,
Mark
