“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 achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.” 2 Corinthians 4:16-17
There is something so sacred about the fight for life. I believe that God wants us to fight. There is a focus that comes from being so close to death; it brings clarity and purpose. So many times for so many friends I believed in healing, even when my mind knew there were no more options. I would cry out that this can’t be it, this cannot be the end. There must be something else.
This is the audacity of hope.
We fight and we wait, and a watching world says, “Why hope for life in a world of death?” And we know the answer. My heart is right. This isn’t it, this is not the end, and there is something else. His life is better.
Our fight is not for this life, our fight is for eternity.
Christ Jesus crucified and risen from the dead, reaching out for relationship with you and with me. And a heart turned toward Him is the only way to live full of joy.
