2 Corinthians 4:17-18 (NKJV) says, For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. Cindy teaches that the things that we see, hear, feel, and understand intellectually in the midst of our lives (our light afflictions) – are only temporary. When we shift our perspective, and keep our eyes of faith on the eternal – the eternal promises of God, His goodness, His faithfulness, the fullness of our salvation – we will not be crushed. Instead, we will be built up and given strength! His grace is indeed sufficient! (2 Corinthians 1:9)
