2 Corinthians 1-4

II Cor. 4:15-18 So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing us for an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are see are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.

How rich are you... really? You may have heard it said that the answer is to add up all the things money can't buy and death can't take away. And you know what, that is Biblical.

Verse 18 has actually been one of my life verses since I first started truly reading the Bible seriously. Right after I graduated from High School back in the summer of 2003. Think about it today. What can't be seen? The influence of a relationship, love, mercy, truth. We see their affects, but they mean so much more than that car, lake house, or designer outfit. Let's spend our energy today on the eternal.
