Light and momentary troubles

2 Corinthians
It sounds so nice and simple - our "light and momentary troubles" are achieving for us an eternal glory.  And yet, when we're living through these circumstances, they don't seem so light and momentary.  That's where our weekly gatherings with other Christians come in handy - we can encourage each other to keep going, to remember that there are far better experiences in store for us.  When we're all alone, it's a lot easier to get tunnel vision and start thinking that what is here and now is all there is.  Let's encourage each other to lift our eyes to a higher power and stay focused on God's kingdom, not ours.  With that new mindset, we'll be able to withstand anything!
