1 Peter 1:3 Praise Be To The God And Father Of Our Lord Jesus Christ! In His Great Mercy He Has Given Us New Birth Into A Living Hope Through The Resurrection Of Jesus Christ From The Dead,

We may be alive in our body. However, what about our soul? Our soul may be alive within us, but what is the direction of our soul? Is our soul pointed up toward our infinite God and Christ Jesus? Or is our soul pointed down toward Satan and eternal darkness? If we are not Christ's child, if we are condemned to eternal darkness because we have not accepted Him, we have no real hope in our life or in our soul. Our pain is increased even more when we are lost in the darkness. Our pain is lessened when we contemplate soaring above the clouds into a land of glory and grace where we shall never suffer again. In this life full of so much pain and trials unending, we can be reborn in our heart and soul. While we are waiting for Christ to call us home to a painless and joy-filled eternity, we live in infinite hope, waiting with certainty beyond certainty for the day when we shall see Christ face to face.
