to GOD be the GLORY
~ Daily Renewed ~
By Deborah Ann
I was consumed,
but not destroyed
I was unsettled
but not paranoid.
I was frightened,
but not horrified
I was alarmed
but not terrified.
I was drained,
but not depleted
I was derailed
but not defeated.
I was shattered,
but not broken
I was stunned
but not shaken.
I was afflicted,
but not subdued
for my inner man . . .
was daily renewed!
~~~~~~~~~
For which cause we faint not;
but though our outward man perish,
yet the inward man is
renewed day by day.
For our light affliction,
which is but for a moment,
worketh for us a far more
exceeding and eternal
weight of glory;
While we look not at
the things which are seen,
but at the things which are
not seen: for the things
which are seen are temporal;
but the things which are not
seen are eternal.
