Your Weekly Word
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 - "So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day.”
The truth of reasoning often cannot implore itself into our systems as the ailment of lamentation assumes control and clogs our arteries. Life breaks what once was spell-bound and leaves us bed-bound with little hope to get back up onto our feet. If prescriptions were a metaphor for reasoning, it often may feel malnourishment is plaguing you. When it inevitably does, even perhaps to a ghastly degree, reason cannot fulfill the cravings of a broken spirit’s appetite for the insatiable pang we call hope. On earth our pain and pride are temporary objects, but solace in Jesus is eternal; let him guide you. Alive we must be messengers because when we die, we reap the bounty of what we sowed on this physical plane of mortality.
