Lift Your Eyes Beyond Life's Battles: A Vision of Hope


 
Gaze beyond. Lift your eyes from the daily battles—the wounds, the flaws, and the regrets—and peer into eternity. Those who endure the deepest suffering on this earth are chosen for a breathtaking destiny (2 Corinthians 4:17). In this temporary, sometimes arduous existence, you are molding and enriching your eternity through your attitudes and responses.

Focusing on possibilities and solutions while maintaining hope and finding joy in the present creates a sense of gratitude and purpose. I find pleasure in such attitudes from you (Hebrews 11:6). Failures are just feedback and opportunity forgrowth.

In the midst of failures or trials, be kind to yourself. Then ask: “What can I learn from this? or “Is there a silver lining here?” Being long-sighted shifts your perspective to growth rather than frustration.

Imagine your future with hope and excitement. In that eternal tomorrow, there will be only boundless joy, endless delight, and everlasting beauty. “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope” (Jeremiah 29:11).

"For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all” (2 Corinthians 4:17 - NIV).

With love beyond measure,
