Job 19:23-27 (NIV)
23 “Oh, that my words were recorded, that they were written on a scroll, 24 that they were inscribed with an iron tool lead, or engraved in rock forever! 25 I know that my Redeemer lives and that in the end, he will stand on the earth. 26 And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh, I will see God; 27 I myself will see him with my own eyes—I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me!

Thank You, God, that this life is not the end. One day I will see You myself with my very own eyes. What a glorious day that will be. Help me to live each day with this eternal perspective by transforming my attitude toward Your plans and goals. I know that my Redeemer lives. Hallelujah! Amen.
