"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! 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. For we know that
when this earthly tent we live in is taken down (that is
when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a
house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself
and not by human hands." 2 Corinthians 4: 17-18 and 5: 1 (NLT) |

Therefore, since
we have been made right in God's sight by faith, we have

and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing
God's glory. Romans 5: 1-2 (NLT) |

And I am
convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's
love. Neither death, nor life, neither angels nor demons,
neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow -
not even the powers of hell can separate us from God's
love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below -
indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to
separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ
Jesus our Lord. Romans 8: 38-39 (NLT) |
|

Absolutely nothing is too difficult with Me, your friend.
I'll sustain you and will never let you fall.

| II Corinthians 12:7-10. In this text the apostle Paul tells of his "thorn in the flesh", given to him from God. This was something painful or problematic; something he did not want.

Jesus had a plan. He went on to say in vs. 10, "For when I am weak, then I am strong." | |
