The Light of Eternity

“The things that are seen (are) for a time, but those that are not seen eternal.”
— 2 Cor. 4:18 (New Translation).

“May the Lord graciously raise up labourers in His harvest. My heart is only there when not with Christ in heaven — there where through grace it will ever be. I find all that is not seen ever more, and alone, real. … I cannot conceive of having the heart anywhere else.”

“If we live to serve Christ, the sorrow of this world is worth while; but it is not the less sorrow in itself, whatever blessing may cheer us through it.”
