2 Corinthians 4:16-18 ESV
So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as 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.
We do not lose heart for we have already given our hearts to the one Who is able to save and strengthen these frail vessels.
It becomes more clear and apparent as we age that life is fleeting. What is inconceivable when we are young becomes a reality as time unfolds. The flower blooms and begins to fade.
At some point a different reality comes into view and it grows clearer as time goes on. Our outer self is just a seed that contains our inner being. We renew and grow stronger the closer we come face to face with our lord. More and more, the transient gives way to things eternal.
This moment is but a moment, until we enter the coming glory that is beyond this life and all comparison.
