2 Corinthians 5&4

Lord Jesus, good morning! Today my aim is to be well pleasing to you. You died to save me, and so I died, and now I live to you. I no longer live for myself, instead, I live for you, who died for me and rose again.

Now your Holy Spirit fills me like a treasure in an earthen vessel. I know the excellent power who now dwells in me is from you. He is not there by my good works, rather he is there by your grace.

So I am always carrying about in my body, the dying of my fleshly lust that the new man of Christ will manifest in my life.

I know that God, our father, who raised up you, Lord Jesus, from the dead, will also raise me up with you and present me with you to himself. Glory and thanksgiving to you, Father

Now, even though my outward man is perishing, yet my inward man is renewed day by day. My earthly body is just a tent. In this, I sometimes groan earnestly desiring to be clothed with the heavenly habitation you have prepared for me, Father.

Then mortality will be swallowed up with immortality, swallowed up with your divine, eternal life, Father, prepared for me by you. To be absent from this body is to be present with you, my great God and father!
