So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. {NIV}

(0 Reviews)

In "Seeing the Unseen," Randy Alcorn encourages readers to focus on the eternal rather than the fleeting aspects of life. He emphasizes the importance of shifting our perspective from the visible, temporary world to the unseen, everlasting truths. This mindset helps cultivate a deeper understanding of life's purpose and encourages a more profound hope rooted in eternal realities. Alcorn's message is a reminder to prioritize spiritual insights that transcend everyday material concerns.

The quote underscores the contrast between what is temporary and what has enduring significance. By urging us to set our sights on the unseen, Alcorn advocates for a lifestyle influenced by eternal values, which can guide our decisions and lead to a more fulfilling existence. Embracing this perspective can transform how we perceive challenges, priorities, and our overall journey in life.

You say you're 'depressed' - all i see is resilience. You are allowed to feel messed up and inside out. It doesn't mean you're defective - it just means you're human.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
