Don’t Lose Heart
2 Corinthians 4:16-18

(ESV) “So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.”

(CSB) “Therefore we do not give up. Even though our outer person is being destroyed, our inner person is being renewed day by day. For our momentary light affliction is producing for us an absolutely incomparable eternal weight of glory. So we do not focus on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”

(MSG) “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.”

TPQ: What is courage if there is no cost?

“Lift me to the light “”
“”Through the roof they broke “”
“”Faithful hands of love “”
“”In each word they spoke “”
“”Jesus sees my pain “”
“”His touch divine embrace “”
“”Lift me to the light “”
“”Heal me by his grace “”

“”Above the crowd, they climbed with might””
“”Through the ceiling, piercing night “”
“”Lowered down, my soul exposed “”
“”Before the one who loves the most””

“”Now I walk, my spirit free””
“”With grateful heart, on bended knee””
“”Friends who carried me that night””
“”Together, we are lifted to the light”
This is referring to Mark 2:3-11, where these men tear through the roof to lower their friend to be healed by Jesus.
“’When he entered Capernaum again after some days, it was reported that he was at home. So many people gathered together that there was no more room, not even in the doorway, and he was speaking the word to them. They came to him bringing a paralytic, carried by four of them. Since they were not able to bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him, and after digging through it, they lowered the mat on which the paralytic was lying. Seeing their faith, Jesus told the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” But some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts: “Why does he speak like this? He’s blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone? ” Right away Jesus perceived in his spirit that they were thinking like this within themselves and said to them, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts? Which is easier: to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, take your mat, and walk’? But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins” #— #he told the paralytic — “I tell you: get up, take your mat, and go home.” Immediately he got up, took the mat, and went out in front of everyone. As a result, they were all astounded and gave glory to God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this! ””- Mark 2:1-12

COT: We talked about how we all make mistakes… even Albert Einstein!– but negative reinforcement can be a bit toxic, especially if the bulk of someone’s effort is excellent. Don’t let negative comments be the only feedback you give to people. Positive reinforcement can be much more motivating.
POINT #1 of the BOM: don’t keep the fear of making a mistake keep you from trying something, but…
POINT #2 of the BOM: don’t let negative feedback be the only feedback you give someone. Don’t take for granted all the good things they’ve done, whether it’s your spouse, co-worker, etc. Praise them for that. Don’t just correct them when they make mistakes.

COT: “…I’ve had some challenges in the last couple years and ultimately, I believe that suffering leads to salvation. That we must accept, not deny, but feel our suffering and feel our losses. Then we make one of two decisions; we either decide to go through the gate of resentment – which leads to vengeance – which leads to self-harm – which leads to harm-to-others OR we go through the gate of forgiveness. Which leads to grace.” -Jim Carrey (actor/comedian)
