"For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country." (Hebrews 11:14 KJV)
"That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. For our present troubles are small and won't last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! So we don't look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever." (2 Corinthians 4:16-18 NLT)
Just to set the record straight, I make every effort to express the truth that is throughout the Bible, mostly because I believe it and know, without a doubt, it all is real and cannot be proven wrong; besides all of that, it gives me hope, that is keeping me filled with the joy, a joy this world can never give me! For those who might doubt that the Bible is really true, I would challenge you to read all of the prophecies that are written, just the ones about Jesus Christ, and then research when they were written; you will be amazed!
That said, this is the reason we never give up, no matter who says what, or how we might struggle over certain things we just don't understand, which are most likely many! There are so many different ways that people give up, whether it be personal or because of someone else, things just don't go the way they were expecting and feel they let down or abandoned. We are never alone! Everything that could go wrong in this world is because this isn't where be belong, our real home is in Heaven!
I truly hope that is what you believe, also, because it is the only real way that you can have peace in any storm and joy in every circumstance...
"For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down (that is, when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself and not be human hands." (2 Corinthians 5:1 NLT)
