Ignore?


2 Corinthians 4:17-18 

17 For our momentary, light suffering is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison

 18 because we are not looking at what can be seen but at what cannot be seen.

For what can be seen is temporary, but what cannot be seen is eternal.

 

Ignore?

 

It has been written often

and not well understood

that the things you think, you know

are not always for your good

 

For the things … that are yours to spend

to help you through this life

are things you do not comprehend

and set you up for strife

 

So the ones … who are close to you

who want to lend a helping hand

seem then so far away from you

and who hate you appear like friends

 

So the One,  Who loves you so sincere

and gave Himself in all

even when He seems far away

is so close … you can just call
