We have troubles all around us, but we are not defeated.
We do not know what to do,
but we do not give up the hope of living.
We are persecuted, but God does not leave us.
We are hurt sometimes, but we are not destroyed....
So we do not give up.
Our physical body is becoming older and weaker,
but our spirit inside us is made new every day.
We have small troubles for a while now,
but they are helping us gain an eternal glory
that is much greater than the troubles.
We set our eyes not on what we see
but on what we cannot see...
2 Corinthians 4:8-9, 16-18
