which all of us ought to learn!
the author and perfecter of our faith,
who for the joy set before HIM
endured the cross, scorning its
shame!" Hebrews 12:2
will hear my voice. In the morning
I will order my prayer to YOU and
look up!" Psalm 5:3
This is a wonderful secret
which all of us ought to learn:
We should not think so much about
the toil and hardness of the way--
but to look beyond to the brightness
of the end! It does not matter
how rough the road is--
if only it brings us HOME at last!
Many of us go worrying all
through this life, keeping our
eyes always downcast on
the path we are treading.
We see all the troubles, the
difficulties, and discouragements--
but we never raise our eyes to see
the joys and the eternal blessings
which are waiting for us. We ought
to learn this life-secret, which made
CHRIST look past the shame and
sorrow of HIS cross--
and see the glory beyond.
Learn to look up toward Heaven!
Think of its joys and its blessedness--
until earth's trials shall melt away
in the brightness, and its griefs
and losses are forgotten in
the hopes of eternal glory!
Though outwardly we are wasting
away, yet inwardly we are being
renewed day by day. For our light a
nd momentary troubles are achieving
for us an eternal glory that far
outweighs them all. So we fix
our eyes not on what is seen,
but on what is unseen. For what
is seen is temporary, but what is
unseen is eternal!" 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
from which we also eagerly wait
for a SAVIOR, the LORD JESUS
CHRIST. HE will transform the body
of our humble condition--
nto the likeness of HIS glorious
body!" Philippians 3:20-21
