For our momentary, light suffering is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison because we are not looking at what can be seen but at what cannot be seen. For what can be seen is temporary, but what cannot be seen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

Today we begin a new theme for #MondayMeditation—hope. In challenging times, which this year has certainly been for most people, sometimes hope is all we have to hold on to. If that is true for you, I pray you won’t lose hope, and I pray the verses that I share will be an encouragement to you.
