S - 2 Corinthians 4:8 - We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; 10 always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies, 11 For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. 12 So death is at work in us, but life in you.
16 So we do not lose heart, Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. 17 For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, 18 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.
O - My child whom I love, today I want to tell you . . . you may be getting older and you may feel a little sore now and then from aging, but remember that every day that you live draws you one day closer to the day that you will get to be with me forever. So, endure the human body that I have given you, and remember, it is perfect, because if it wasn't I would not have allowed you to have it. So, you may get beat up once in a while, you may get ridiculed once in a while, you may even get hurt once in a while. But none of that is going to destroy you, it will only make you stronger in me. Remember, I went though a lot more than you can ever even imagine going through and now I am here to help you go through whatever it is that you have to go through. Keep living on with the prospect of the "unseen," that time that you will be with me forever, in your mind.
A - Every day that I am alive is drawing me one day closer to the day that I will be with my Lord in heaven forever. Looking at it that way makes every day here that much more precious. I must live every day as if it is the last one I will spend here on earth. I must make every day count for my Lord and Savior. Spend time with him every morning, committing each and every day to him and living out that day with one thing on my mind; Glorify his name.
P - Heavenly Father, forgive me for the days that I have lived for myself. Help me to live each and every day for you. Help me to commit each day to you as I meet with you every morning. Give my eyes to see the 'unseen' and a will to live with that as my ultimate goal in life.
