Don't lose heart...

Therefore we don't 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 eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen us eternal.
1 cor. 4:16-18

I absolutely love this verse!!
In our community group we are going through the book of Acts and I am really enjoying it! It has been refreshing to read the first Church and the challenges they faced. It has been a time to refocus and reconnect. I've been questioning and examining my life. Am I allowing God to renew me day by day? Lately I've committed to read AND Meditate on His Word everyday (I'd like to say I was already, but I wasn't committed) It has been an experience that I am deeply thankful for...
I am thankful for the Cross, His Word, His unfailing Love, His grace, and the gift of Heaven that awaits!
