"Therefore we do not lose heart,even though our outward man is perishing,yet the inward man is being renewed day by day." 2 Corinthians4:16
The LORD was ever present while spending time with my Dad at the end of his life on earth.
My sister and I were speaking to him,crying, and very sad.He never responded as he laid still with his eyes closed.
After a short time the LORD spoke so clearly to my heart. I said to my sister "Do you know what is happening?We are only seeing Dad from the outside.Inside his spirit is being renewed,he knows where he is going and he is fine."' God had filled me with joy & hope in believing that my Dads' last breath on earth would be his first in heaven!What sweet peace and comfort!
I knew what was spoken to my heart was from our Wonderful Counselor,speaking Truth,and that it must be in the scriptures.I started seeking to find where. A few weeks later a dear friend said"Charlene I think the verse you've been looking for is 2Corinthians 4:16...and it was!! --Charlene Yates

Confession for today:
I confess "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday,today, and forever" "The grass withers and the flower fades, but the word of God stands forever" " Forever, O LORD,Your word is settled in heaven."(Hebrews13:8 Isiah 40:6-8 Psalm119:89)
