Words of Encouragement February - 16 - 2003
As we grow older, the aches and pains of our body, and its deterioration can be discouraging.
Paul offers a wonderful remedy for such feelings!
These verses are from 2 Corinthians 4:16 -18
So we do not lose heart. Though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed every day. For this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, because we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
Let us pray.
Our Father in heaven help us not to focus on our aging body, but upon the grace and truth of Jesus Christ which renews that inner part of us that partakes of the joy of the eternal inheritance he has promised us!
In the Name of your Son, Jesus we pray.
Amen
