Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns -- April 8, 2008:
The road has been long and the battle has been fierce, but this is no time to throw in the towel. Be strong. Be reminded of Who I AM and who you are in Me. Refuse to allow the enemy to draw you away from strength and purpose. Renew yourself in faith and rise up in victory. You are not defeated, for you belong to Me. I will enable you to do all that I have called you to do. This is momentary light affliction, says the Lord. Breakthrough is imminent.
2 Corinthians 4:17-18 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.
