So no wonder we don’t give up. For even though our outer person gradually wears out, our inner being is renewed every single day. We view our slight, short-lived troubles in the light of eternity. We see our difficulties as the substance that produces for us an eternal, weighty glory far beyond all comparison, because we don’t focus our attention on what is seen but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but the unseen realm is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:16‭-‬18 TPT

That’s what I want, my friends. I want to focus on the unseen realm because that is eternal. It holds more weight than what you can see.

How can that be? How can the unseen be heavier? How can you weigh the unseen things?

Simple. God uses a different type of scale. Just like He uses the foolish things to confound the wise, love that covers a multitude of sins and a fish lunch to feed a multitude.

How wonderful are His scales. Mine can disappoint me, but His never does. Even when my body wears out my spirit lives on forever with Him. He’s my reward. To lose my life is gaining much more.

So I’ll keep reaching for things I can’t see, knowing that in the reaching, I’ll be finding treasure far more valuable than anything on earth.
