Have you ever lost heart?  There's a million and one reasons to these days, pick one.  Paul has some sage words for us, that I think God is really speaking to hearts about.  He focuses on the eternal weight of glory to be gained and on the inner self being renewed.   He's somehow able to miraculously reconsider and recharacterize his troubles as being advantageous to his soul.  It is worth something, literally a type of earning potential spiritually.

Though his troubles are weighty, he calls them light.  Though he is afflicted, he takes heart in his soul being well.  If you find yourself (or a friend or loved one) troubled more often than not, this episode will bless you.  It's not always about God solving all of our problems, but in how He can guide us to manage them well, not with a change of heart but a change of mind.

Focusing on what is to come in the glory of Him is medicine all itself.  It's our preoccupied focus on what is in the present that makes us sick.

Be well today.  Think well.  Look to Him.
