I read this in The Message today. Man, I love this passage. Check it out:
So we're not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace. These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times, the lavish celebration prepared for us. There's far more here than meets the eye. The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things we can't see now will last forever.
Does that give you hope or what?
How good is God?

This does give me hope. I'm sad about a family situation and my husband keeps telling me that this is just a "snapshot" in this life and that God is there SO looking at it like that as "small potatoes" knowing there is an Awesome GOD with His capable hand in it. Well, yes, it gives me hope!
John, just wanted you to know that we are keeping you and the team in our prayers for great and wonderful things as you travel to Egypt tomorrow.
Much
Love
