2 Corinthians 5

Father, you have prepared me for eternity with you. When this tent that I dwell in is destroyed, I have a building from you, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. Now I may groan from time to time, but you have prepared that, at your appointed time, my mortality will be swallowed up by life.

You have prepared this very thing for me, Father, and you have given me your Holy Spirit as a guarantee.

Therefore, I am always confident as I walk now in faith and not by sight. I am confident and content with the knowledge that when I leave this body, I will be present with you, my God and my father.

For now, I make it my aim to be well pleasing to you. I want to live my life no longer for myself, but for the Lord Jesus, who died for me and rose again.
