I believe that one of the reasons that so many of God’s people have become discouraged along life’s pathway today is because they’ve lost sight of the place that we’re going. Many of God’s children are so wrapped up in this world today, like a kitty in a ball of yarn, that they’ve lost sight of the fact that we are pilgrims and strangers down here. And that to look forward to this place brings courage and comfort to the heart today. For the word that Paul uses has in it both courage and comfort if you please.
