How to not lose heart
“Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.” - 2 Corinthians 4:16
I find this verse extremely difficult and simultaneously profound. In this verse Paul is describing an external circumstance or condition that he doesn’t expect to get any better. There’s no happy ending coming.
He recognizes it. He acknowledges it. He accepts it. In accepting the things he is unable to change, Paul has found peace. Recognizing the limitations of what could not be altered allowed Paul to focus his energies on the possibilities that still could be.
Paul had a very strong sense of mission or purpose. While he understood the things he could not do, he very much understood what he could do. He was determined to fulfill his mission and leave a legacy that went far beyond his own life.
Paul’s hope was grounded in a radical acceptance of what could not be while simultaneously embracing what still could be. This is how he maintained heart in the face of truly difficult circumstances.
