2 Cor. 4 16-18

So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18

Attached to our tent

Most of us find comfort in being told that we are going to go on living;  the apostle Paul was comforted when he was told that he would soon be dying [see Philippians 1:21]! He kept referring to death as that which was "far better." The fact that we don't view death with optimism just might be because we think of death as taking us from our home rather than bringing is to our home! Unlike Paul, we have become so attached to our tent that we just don't want to move.
