Hello everyone, here are some things I've been meditating on the past month.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18
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 acheiving for us an eternal glory that far outweights them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. Since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
"Men and women, and children, too, are such strange creatures, that one never can be certain that he really knows them; nor even guess what they have been, from what he sees them to be now."
--Nathaniel Hawethorne in The House of the Seven Gables
Psalm 127:1-2
Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain. In vain you rise up early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat-- for he grants sleep to those he loves.
