2 CORINTHIANS 4:16-17
16Therefore we do not become discouraged [disappointed, or afraid].
Though outwardly our bodies is [progressively] wasting away,
yet our inner spirit is being] renewed day by day.
17For our momentary, light afflications [Our Daily Struggle]
is producing for us an eternal weight of glory
beyond all measure [Reward is beyond comparisons),
ROMANS ……what we are suffering now cannot compare with the glory that will be shown to us.
WHAT IS UNSEEN IS… “Eternal”
Are we so distracted by the things in front off us?
We no longer are Attracted by the thing Above us.
VERY WORDS OF JESUS..
Jesus Said..
Matthew 16:25
For whoever wishes to save his life [in this SEEN world] will [eventually] lose it [through death],
but whoever loses his life [To The UNSEEN world] for My sake…
will find (life with Me for all eternity].
THE WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS TO Move in Us and Redirect Our FOCUS!!!

SO BECAUSE God is Working In Us.. And we Are God Workmanship…
HE IS ALWAYS TRYING TO GAIN NOT ONLY our Atttention but Our Effection…
Is Is all trying to Wows to him..
Colosinas 3:1-14
