To us is given the promise of eternal life - but to us, the dead. A blessed resurrection is proclaimed to us - meantime we are surrounded by decay. We are called righteous - and yet sin lives in us. We hear of ineffable blessedness - but meantime we are here oppressed by infinite misery. We are promised abundance of all good things - yet we are rich only in hunger and thirst. What would become of us if we did not take our stand on hope, and if our heart did not hasten beyond this world through the midst of the darkness upon the path illumined by the word and Spirit of God!

-John Calvin (via brightbluedoor)
