Meditation/Betty’s Verse Of The Day/2-11-15

2 Corinthians 5:1-5 (NIV)

Awaiting the New Body

5 For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. ²Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, ³because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked. ⁴For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. ⁵Now the one who has fashioned us for this very purpose is God, who has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.

We are not home, our bodies are not satisfied the way they are now, the physical pain, the depression, addiction, and sickness. We groan,wanting what God wants us to have, for He fashioned us for this purpose and gave us the Spirit as a deposit, God guaranteed and did seal us with His Spirit, so one day we will be restored to our heavenly home in heaven with God..Love BettyB..Let’s Pay..

Precious Lord please hear us this morning. Lord, this morning if we feel the pain of this world help us to change our thoughts toward heaven, help us to feel you near us guide us and help us to remember one day this tent we dwell in will be replaced, we are in awe of your love for us O Lord, In Jesus Name, Amen.
