As we step into the new year, 2 Corinthians 4:16 reminds us - 'We do not lose heart.' This scripture serves as a beacon of hope, encouraging us to persevere through life's challenges. The apostle Paul's experiences teach us that even in the face of immense hardship, we can find strength to carry on. Our physical bodies may be aging, but our inner spirit can be renewed daily through God's grace. This renewal isn't just an annual event, but a daily gift we can embrace. By focusing on this inner renewal, we can maintain hope and courage, regardless of our external circumstances. As we navigate the complexities of life, let's remember that each day brings new mercies and opportunities for growth in our faith journey.
