Our goal as Christians should be to please God, not man. If we keep our eyes fixed on Jesus and forget our earthly wants He will plant in us seeds of righteousness that will sprout and take root into His Will for our lives!!! We will grow His Kingdom, not ours. Believe oh Believe, Just Dare To Believe !!!
1 We know that if our earthly house—a mere tent that can easily be taken down—is destroyed, we will then live in an eternal home in the heavens, a building crafted by divine—not human—hands.
2 Currently, in this tent of a house, we continue to groan and ache with a deep desire to be sheltered in our permanent home
3 because then we will be truly clothed and comfortable, protected by a covering for our current nakedness.
4 The fact is that in this tent we anxiously moan, fearing the naked truth of our reality. What we crave above all is to be clothed so that what is temporary and mortal can be wrapped completely in life.
5 The One who has worked and tailored us for this is God Himself, who has gifted His Spirit to us as a pledge toward our permanent home.
6 In light of this, we live with a daring passion and know that our time spent in this body is also time we are not present with the Lord.
7 The path we walk is charted by faith, not by what we see with our eyes.
8 There is no doubt that we live with a daring passion, but in the end we prefer to be gone from this body so that we can be at home with the Lord.
9 Ultimately it does not matter whether we are here or gone; our purpose stays fixed, and that is to please Him. 2 Corinthians 5: 1-9 The Voice Bible.
