Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18How can this be?  Whenever I consider the blessing of sight on this earth, and all the beauty God has created here, I am amazed and overwhelmed with the glory of God I am able to see.Just to know that God is Spirit, and I am unable to see Him, makes me rejoice and glory in the life to come. I love to picture Heaven, knowing I cannot.  I love to imagine the colors and textures of what will be, knowing I will never know with earthly sight.  I love to think about a perfect body without pain or breaks.  I know that in Heaven, it is much more than I could ever dare dream or contemplate.I turn to the Lord in all His glory, and I praise Him, no words set to music can begin to describe what will be.   I will never, ever,  know here on this earth the glory that awaits those who turn to God.Oh, Lord our God, be merciful to me a sinner.  Help me to live in the blindness of the world to your Spiritual Essence and give me the strength to become totally Yours.  I surrender to your will and your way, this is my prayer.  I love You. In Jesus’ Name, AmenBut whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.   2 Corinthians 3:16-18
