4 what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal

Death is not a frightening tragic event but the first step into eternal life.

God's word reveals that Jesus has conquered death. Because of Jesus there is an open door that is there to usher us into God's magnificent presence.

(John 14:1-2)
"Let not ur heart be troubled; u believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told u. I go to prepare a place 4 u.

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. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling, because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked. For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. Now it is God who has made us for this very purpose and has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come. Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. We live by faith, not by sight. We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.
(2 corinthians 4:16-15:8)


May the truth and beauty of God's word be a lamp to ur feet and a light 2 ur path!
