Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.
'Eternity' poems - Hello Poetry
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.
For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. Alyssa Underwood Jul Living in the Grace of the Moment As Believers. Our trials tend to force us, like pushy but invaluable friends, to learn hands-on what it is to live in the grace of the moment.
Poems about Afterlife
This happens as we first learn to live in the reality of the eternal, for it's an ever-present awareness of eternity that liberates us to receive every present moment with thankfulness and live it to the fullest, without setting up false expectations for it or worrying about the next.
When we are convinced that our life is hidden with Christ and He alone is the Prize, that this world is not our home and we are simply on assignment here, and that our pain and failures are only temporary but, with His redemption, the beauty and wisdom to be gained from them are eternal, we are set free from living in the regret of yesterday or in the fear of tomorrow. We can instead live in the blessing of the right now which fully meets the need of the right now because both need and blessing are gifts from the Father to get us ready for eternity and to meet our Bridegroom face to face.
We have need of nothing but Him and His grace, and His fullness dwells in us.
From Crossing Over to Connection:
His wisdom assures us that He has always had in mind, down to the smallest details, exactly what He is doing with us; His character, that His heart is ever faithful toward us; and His sovereignty, that His directing arm cannot be shaken or thwarted. They reveal to us explicitly that He loves us with all of His mind and heart and strength, and in that knowledge we find perfect rest. As beloved children we know that we will be taken care of without having to know how it will happen or what it will look like. He always picks up and holds close to Himself those who long for Him.
We may think that what we most desire are answers and perfectly successful plans and reasonable control over our lives, but what our souls crave is comfort and intimacy and love, and we can have those the instant we fully surrender to His embrace. If we pin our hope on anything in this temporary world it will be no stronger than that—a mere pin, easily pulled out and easily broken when life weighs too heavily upon it. Enduring hope lets go of everything that can be lost to take hold of everything that cannot, and in doing so is actually able to squeeze the sweetest nectar out of those released and perishable blessings so that even their losses, though painful, do not leave a bitter aftertaste.
There's a peculiar kind of beauty that can only be experienced with the innate knowledge that the moment is fleeting, and the most intense beauty can only be seen in the presence of both light and shadows.

Where can I find this picture to buy? I am not resigned to the shutting away of loving hearts in the hard ground. So it is, and so it will be, for so it has been, time out of mind: Into the darkness they go, the wise and the lovely. Crowned With lilies and with laurel they go; but I am not resigned. Lovers and thinkers, into the earth with you. Be one with the dull, the indiscriminate dust. A fragment of what you felt, of what you knew, A formula, a phrase remains,—but the best is lost.
The answers quick and keen, the honest look, the laughter, the love,— They are gone. They are gone to feed the roses. Elegant and curled Is the blossom.
Fragrant is the blossom. But I do not approve. More precious was the light in your eyes than all the roses in the world. Down, down, down into the darkness of the grave Gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind; Quietly they go, the intelligent, the witty, the brave. And I am not resigned. I searched for this image, and found it for you: It is also available on favim.
Spiritual Poems about Death
Type into the search bar: No one knows the sure and set For we know not, the why or yet Be lost and found, but not unbound Because for ever will be my bet…. Do not think of me as gone. I am with you still in each new dawn. Seeing death as the end of life is like seeing the horizon as the end of the ocean. Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near; still loved, still missed and very dear. I thought that I would miss you so, and never find my way.

And then I heard the angel say "She's with you every day. Death is simply a shedding of the physical body, like the butterfly shedding its cocoon It is a transition to a higher state of consciousness where you continue to perceive, to understand, to laugh, and be able to grow. Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away into the next room. I am I and you are you. Call me by my old familiar name. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference in your tone. Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
