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 for us 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 seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal. ~2 Corinthians 4:16-18
Why do we always yearn for the things that are slowly fading away? Money is only temporary, beauty will soon fade, the people surrounding us are not immortal either. What ever happened to storing our treasures up in heaven? Where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal? {Matthew 6:20}. Nothing here on this planet is permanent. Only God will stand the test of time, just like He always has.
